From the Til Tuesday album “Everything's Different Now” 1988
A2 E
Remember this, given us
C#m B A2
by someone's set of parents
E B
I don't recall, I admit
D2 A2
I don't know just who's to blame
E F#m
for relics of our history...
A2 E
To tell the truth, it wasn't bad
C#m B A2
we had to have a reason
E B
and lack of love wasn't it
D2 A2
We both know we had a past
E F#m
but present must contain
A E B
a future where both of us can fit
E B A
So long and sorry, darling
C#m B E
I was counting to forever
A E B
and never even got to ten
E B A
So long and sorry, darling
C#m B E
when we found a rip in heaven
A E B D2
we should have just ascended then
It's funny how you just assume
you're going to work it out
or give it at least a try
but optimistic feelings can't be
passed from hand to hand
you handle them they tend to die
So long and sorry, darling
I was counting to forever
and never even got to ten
So long and sorry, darling
when we found a rip in heaven
we should have just ascended then
D2 E
Well, better than if I just go away
G#m C#m B A A2
preserving the fiction of
E
indifference now
B
replacing love
Instr.

So long and sorry, darling
I was counting to forever
and never even got to ten
So long and sorry, darling
when we found a rip in heaven
we should have just ascended then
A E B
we should have just ascended then

we should have just ascended then
