I Hear Them Say

I Hear Them Say

(No chord) C Am C

I hear them say that life is only memories

C Am G

I hear them say you can't grasp it by the arm

F C Am

That all you get is tattered coat sleeves

F G C

And then they tell me that's its charm

V2 -

I hear them say forgiving's not forgetting
I hear them say the future's not the past
That bitterness is love's poison
And golden moments never last

V3 -

I hear them say that you never loved me
I hear them say that none of it was true
And that all my life's so far's been wasted
Because I believed in you
(repeat FGC) Yeah, because I believe in you
