[Verse 1]
Am                      E
He loses himself in the boxscores.
    G                        C
She can't decide what to wear.
C7                      F
There will be no realization today,
     E                         Am
And she'll carry out her affair.
Am                      E
She dreams frequent and vividly.
   G                  C
He has no dreams at all.
C7                               F
She describes them to him every morning,
             E                             Am
As he complains about the mileage of his car.
 
[Pre-Chorus]
     Dm7                 G7
They have no children to speak of,
          Cmaj7                Dm7 Em7* E7*
And don't own their colonial home.
    G7           Cmaj7            F
The color TV lulls one of them to sleep
           E                        Am B7
While the other changes stations alone.
 
[Chorus]
C            F
Hand in hand,
E            Am
I lost her hand,
              Dm
And cried the tears
                 B7 Bb7 B7
Lovers understand.
C            F
Hand in hand,
E            Am
I lost her hand,
              Dm
And cried the tears
                 B7 Bb7 B7
Lovers understand.
 
[Verse 2]
     Am                      E
They could not afford a real honeymoon,
        G                              C
So they strolled hand-in-hand in the square.
              C7                         F
She does the same with the guy at the office,
     E                    Am
He likes the color of her hair.
      Am                     E
He's quiet and tired a lot lately
     G                            C
He sets goals and doesn't follow through.
    C7                          F
He stares at her picture on the fireplace,
     E                       Am
And whispers a prayer to the room:
 
[Pre-Chorus]
       Dm7
"There are no mistakes, "
         G7
He says, shrugging off,
Cmaj7                        Dm7 Em7 E7
"We just did what we had to do.
     G7            Cmaj7       F
I don't think that I could get angry again;
   E                           Am     B7
At least not like I did in my youth."
 
[Chorus]
C            F
Hand in hand,
E            Am
I lost her hand,
              Dm
And cried the tears
                 B7 Bb7 B7
Lovers understand.
C            F
Hand in hand,
E            Am
I lost her hand,
              Dm
And cried the tears
                 B7 Bb7 B7
Lovers understand.

Am     Am/C      B7      Dm
Sur le quai son mouchoir
E    F   E   Dm Am Am/C
S'enfuit deja
B7   Dm      E Dm Am/C B7   Dm7    G7    Cmaj7
Sous le jour                qui s'allonge
Dm7     G7   Cmaj7 Dm7 Am
S'estompe a l'horizon
