G D7
When I was young and I went to school they taught me how to write
G
To take the chalk and make a mark and hope it turns out right
G7 C
Well that's the way it is with love and what you did to me
G D7 G
I wrote it so you'd know that I was yours eternally
D7
But my tears have washed I love you from the blackboard of my heart
G
It's too late to clean the slate and make another start
G7 C
I'm satisfied the way things are although we're far apart
G D7 G
My tears have washed I love you from the blackboard of my heart
D7
If you'd been true the way you should and not have gone astray
G
Those tears would not have fallen down and washed the words away
G7 C
No need to talk cause if the chalk should write those words again
G D7 G
It will be for someone else not things that might have been
