Bread – Aubrey
Key: G Major BPM: ♩ = 68 Time: 4/4 
|G    D/F#    |Em    Gmaj7/D     |C    C/B     |Am7    C/D     |

|G     D/F#          |Em   Gmaj7/D    |C        C/B         |Am7   C/D    |
   And Aubrey was her name,  a not so  very ordinary girl or name
            |G    G/F#   |Em      B/D#   |Gmaj7/D         C#m7b5  |
But who's to blame?         for a love      that wouldn't bloom
|C                          |G/B       Gmaj7/B    |
   For the hearts that never played in tune

|Am7           Bm7        |C            Gmaj7/B    |
 Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing
|Am7           Bm7                 |C              A/C#   |C/D    -  Dsus4   D   |
 Take away the words that rhyme, it doesn't mean a thing

|G     D/F#          |Em   Gmaj7/D    |
   And Aubrey was her name
              |C                  C/B          |Am7   C/D    |
We tripped the light and danced together to the moon
             |G    G/F#   |Em       B/D#   |Gmaj7/D    C#m7b5  |
But where was June?          no, it never     came    around
|C                   |G/B    Gmaj7/B    |
   If it did it never made a sound

|Am7         Bm7          |C             Gmaj7/B    |
 Maybe I was absent or was listening too fast
|Am7              Bm7               |C             A/C#   |G/D    |
 Catching all the words but then the meaning going past

|B/D#                |Em           |G/F     2nG7                   |C/E             |
   But God I miss the girl, and I'd go a thousand times around the world just to be
|Eb6                  |
 Closer to her than to

|G    D/F#    |Em    Gmaj7/D     |C    C/B     |Am7    C/D     |
 me

|G     D/F#          |Em   Gmaj7/D    |
   And Aubrey was her name
       |C              C/B               |Am7   C/D    |
I never knew her but I loved her just the same
           |G   G/F#   |Em          B/D#   |Gmaj7/D         C#m7b5  |
I loved her name,         wish that I         had found the way
|C                           |G/B          |
   And the reasons that would make her stay

|Am7               Bm7         |C                 Gmaj7/B    |
 I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest
  |Am7              Bm7             |C              A/C#   |G/D    |
If I can't have the one I want, I'll do without the best

|B/D#                |Em  |        |G/F    2nG7                   |C/E              |
   But how I miss the girl, and I'd go a million times around the world just to say
|Eb6                    |G   |
 She had been mine for a day
