G D A D

[Verse]
D
When I was young and went to school
                      A
They taught me how to write

To take the chalk and make a mark
                      D
And hope it turns out right

Well that's the way it is with love
                    G
And what you did to me
                    D
I wrote it so you'd know
           A    D
That I was yours eternally

[Chorus]
       D
But my tears have washed I love you
                          A
From the blackboard of my heart

It's too late to clean the slate
                  D
And make another start

I'm satisfied the way things are
                   G
Although we're far apart
                       D
My tears have washed I love you from
A                    D
The blackboard of my heart

[Verse]
   D
If you'd been true the way you should
                  A
And not have gone astray

These tears would not have fallen down
                     D
And washed the words away

No need to talk, 'cause if the chalk
                         G                   D
Should write those words again It will be for someone else
    A                     D
Not things that might have been

[Chorus]
       D
But my tears have washed I love you
                          A
From the blackboard of my heart

It's too late to clean the slate
                  D
And make another start

I'm satisfied the way things are
                   G
Although we're far apart
                       D
My tears have washed I love you from
A                    D
The blackboard of my heart
                        D
My tears have washed I love you from
A                    D
The blackboard of my heart
