And Aubrey was her name
G G/F# Em7 Em7/A
E not so very ordinary girl or name
[Verse 1]
D A/C# Bm Bmmaj9 Dmaj7
But who's to blame for a love
Bm/G# Gmaj7
That wouldn't bloom
Bm7 Bm9
For the hearts that never played in tune
[Chorus 1]
Em7 D/F# G D/F#
Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing
Em7 D/F# G Bm/G#
Take away the words that rhyme, it doesn't mean a thing

We tripped the light and danced together to the moon

But where was June? No it ne.....ver came around
Gmaj7 Bm7 Bm9
If it did, it never made a sound
[Chorus 1]
Em7 D/F# G D/F#
Maybe I was absent or was listening too fast
Em7 D/F# G Bm/G#
Catching all the words but then the meaning going past
[Chorus 2]
Dmaj7 Bmmaj9 Bm7
And God, I miss the girl
D7 G
And I'd go a thousand times around the world just to be

Closer to her than to me

And the reasons that would make her stay
[Chorus 1]
Em7 D/F# G D/F#
I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest

If I can't have the one I want, I'll do without the best

Oh, how I miss the girl

She had been mine for a day.
