Your Ex-Lover is Dead -- Stars
Out of all the versions to choose from, I found them to be over-simplified or
unnecessarily complicated. Here's my compilation with full lyrics. Enjoy! --Travis

C F - G
God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said "yes I think we've met before"
In that instant it started to pour
F Am - G
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of that time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name
Interlude
C F - G
This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
You tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in
And now you're outside me you see all the beauty
Repent all your sin........
F Am - G
It's nothing but time and a face that you'll lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard, I'll send you the news
From the house down the road, from real love
Bridge: repeat intro x4, 1st time instrumental
Am Am/B C D/F# F F C
Live through this, and you won't look back. x3 to C, F-G strumming
C F - G
There's one thing I want to say so I'll be brave. You were what I
wanted, I gave what I gave. I'm not sorry I
met you, I'm not sorry it's over, I'm not sorry
there's nothing to save....... I'm not sorry (hold)
F
there's nothing to save
Outro: F, Am-G instrumental x8, then intro x1
