by Will West & The Friendly Strangers

Track 2 ~ Everytime
Lyrics by Will West

You say ~ that it hurt you so.
I'd pray ~ I never have to let you go...
Everytime (Everytime!)
I'd see that tear drop from your eye
I'd cry just a little on the inside.

We'd run dancing in the rain.
And I'd wish that this day would never ever end
Everytime (Everytime!)
I'd see that sun it shines away....
I'd die just a little on the inside.

that was fantastic.... but you know....
I think we can do a little bit better than that.
I think that singing is just another form of breathing....
and I hope that you'll breathe with us on these next few lines....
We've got 3 times to get it right.

You say ~ that it hurt you so.
I'd pray ~ I'd never have to let you go...
Everytime (Everytime!)
I'd see that tear drop from your eye
I'd cry just a little on the inside.

Everytime (Everytime!)
I'd see that sun it shines away
I'd die just a little on the inside.

Everytime (Everytime!)
I'd see you wave goodbye...
I'd cry just a little on the inside.

Some Song background...

Early versions of this song were actually called "On the Inside"
I normally play the song with a capo on the 2nd fret.
The song is in the key of A.
(Harmonica is an A as well)

Chord positions (with capo on 2nd Fret)

G ~ ~ G ........ C ~ ~ C
You say... that it hurt you so

G ~ ~ G ........ D ~ ~ D
I'd pray... I'd never have to let you go

G ~ ~ G ........ ................C ~ ~ C
Everytime...(echo)..... I'd see that tear drop from....

G ~ ~ G ........ D ~ ~ G
I'd cry just alittle on the inside

I repeat this progression all the way through
I'll tag on the second half 2 more times at the very end of the song for Everytime!
Thanks!
