I need to make apologies for what I didn't do

5  5   6   7   6   6    5    7  7   -8
I sure do need to tell her that I thought 

 7    7    -6      -6
the whole thing through

-6  -7  -7     -8   -8  -7  -6   6
And now it's clear that she is what 

5   -5    6    5   -4 4
I should have held on to.

CHORUS

They say hindsight's twenty/twenty 

-6  -7   7  7  7 -6    6
but I'm nearly goin' blind

  7  -8 -8   -8 -8   8 -8 -8    7   -7 -8  -8  -7   6
From starin' at her photograph and wishing she was mine

 6    -5   5    6   7     6   6 5
It's that same old lost love story 

 7   -8   7   7    -6
it's sad but it's true

  -7  -7 -7  -8   -8  -7  -6   6
There was a time when she was mine 

5   -5  6    5 -4   4
in Nineteen-Eighty Two.

Verse 2

Postman can you sell me - a special kind of stamp
One to send a letter from this crazy lonely man
Back into the wasted years of my living past
I need to tell her, now I know - how long my love will last.

CHORUS

-7 -7  -7  -8   -8 -8  -7  -6  6
Losing my mind, going back in time 

5   -5  6    5 -4   4
to Nineteen-Eighty Two.
