[Verses]
         C              F            Am
When you wake up in the morning, are you lonely?
        C         F          Am
To find only the items I had left
        C              F            Am
By your bedside on the table to your right hand
       C              F            Am
Little traces are the proof that I exist


C F Am x 2

        C              F        Am
Looking back now I can see your clear green eyes
        C                 F                 Am
In that old shed with the string lights you reside
         C               F                Am
With the swing set stuck above you in the rafters
        C             F               Am
And the books and the records on each side
        C             F               C
And the books and the records on each side


  C                    Am
I knew I could grow to love him
        C                 Am
But his walls came up too fast
      C             Am
I was strong in his presence
       C               Am
But he left me for the past
             C         Am
Now will he, ever stop haunting me,
C      Am
Let me go?
   C                    Am         C   Am
My mind should lose their memories
   C                    Am         C   Am
My mind should lose their memories
  C                 Am                  C   Am
I only remember the sweetest of these
      C
Now I only remember the sweetest things...


Hey!


C F Am x 2

         C                  F                Am
Keep her close now, keep her happy, keep her wanted
      C              F                Am
Don't desert now the way that you did me
         C                     F                Am
Cook her breakfast, share your music, tell your secrets
        C            F             Am
Give it all like you never plan to leave
                C      F  Am
Did you plan to leave?
      C                        F              C               G
And I tell your friends it was easier then to give your heart away
       C                      F               C                G
Before hope became broken and eager to love I gave it all with haste
             C                 F                          C               G
So if you're telling a story, especially of heartache, it better ring out true
   C                            F                         C                     G
To pass down your bloodline and travel through song in an honest remembrance of you


        C                    Am
Cause I knew I could grow to love him
        C                 Am
But his walls came up too fast
      C                Am
I was so strong in his presence
       C               Am
But he left me for his past
             C         Am
Now will he, ever stop haunting me,
C      Am
Let me go?
        C            Am
Will he ever say goodbye to me?
          C     Am    C  Am    C  Am
I've been on my oooooooooooooooooown

C             Am         C     Am
Ohhhh ohh-ohh-ohhhhhh oh-ohhhhhhhhhhh x 4


            C              F               Am
So when you wake up in the morning are you lonely?
        C        F                 Am
To find only the love that you had left
      C              F                Am
By my bedside on the table to my left hand
       C              F              Am       C
Little traces are the proof that you exist
