Chris Rea - The Mention of Your Name: chords

Am                              F
"Time goes by and every single tear
F
It must have well run dry
                Dm
And the lonely nights
           Em/G           Am
Become a strange accepted way

And the years go past
Just like the old song says
The pain with time has healed
It could not last
But oh a friend
Like a fool mentions your name

       Dm7           G7
Sunny days, drunken nights
              Cmaj7       Fmaj7
You smile and say, it's alright
           Dm         E7
But oh the cold cold rain
                        Am
At the mention of your name

            Dm
Forgive me please
                G
If I shrug my shoulders
                C
When I put my friend at ease
         F
As I get older
              Bm7-5            E          Am
It's not that I don't feel colder than before
          Dm              G7
Oh I've become so good at hiding
        C               F
What I feel without confiding
               Bm7-5                    E7
It's still the same, darling still the same
                        Am
At the mention of your name"
