All I Ever Did

(Words and music by Pete Atkin)

C          Em                 Bb                C
All I ever did while you were here was done for you

        F                     G                 F                   C
Or so I said, perhaps through fear that nothing less would make you stay

C            Em           Bb                  C
All I'd ever done or ever was meant something new

        F                G                       F                     C
Or so I thought, perhaps because the past seemed night and this seemed day



D7           F                  C              G7            F
All I'd ever seen was black and white, all I'd ever sung was off-key

D7           F              C      Em
All I'd ever spoken sounded trite

              F                          G7           
And then with you I was all the things I wished to be



C          Em                 Bb                C
All I ever did while you were here was done for you

               F                G
Now through my tears I'm asking why

F            Fm           C
All you ever said was goodbye
