This song contains some interesting chords which took me quite a while to figure out upon listening over and over again. I have included the guitar chords below:-
Intro:Gadd9(x05433) Bm7(xx4435), Em, Gmaj7(xx0002)
C, C/B, C/A, C/D, Gadd9
Bm7(xx4432) Em Gmaj7
And Aubrey was her name,
C C/B C/A C/D
A not so very ordinary girl or name.
G G/F# Em
But who's to blame?
B7 Gmaj7 Em6(x4x000)
For a love that never bloom
Cmaj7 (x3x000) G(x2x003) Gmaj7(xx0002)
For the hearts that never played in tune.

Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing,
Am7 F#add9+5 C Em6(x4x000) D7sus2(xx0210) D7sus D7
Take away the words that rhyme it doesn't mean a thing.
And Aubrey was her name.
We tripped the light and danced together to the moon,
But where was June.
No it never came around.
If it did it never made a sound,
Maybe I was absent or was listening too fast,
Catching all the words, but then the meaning going past, G(3rd)
B7 Em
But God I miss the girl,
G7(323000) C(3rd)
And I'd go a thousand times around the world just to be
Cm G
Closer to her than to me.
And Aubrey was her name,
I never knew her, but I loved her just the same,
I loved her name.
Wish that I had found the way
And the reasons that would make her stay.
I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest.
If I can't have the one I want, I'll do without the best.
But how I miss the girl
And I'd go a million times around the world just to say
She had been mine for a day.
