[Verse 1]
Em7 Em6 Em
I read all the lett - ers,
Em7 Em6 Em Dmaj9 D
I read each word... that you've sent to me,
Bm7
And, though it's past now,
Bm7/A Gmaj7 F#m7
And your words... start to fade,
Gmaj7 F#m7
All the memories I have... still re - main!
[Verse 2]
Em7 Em6 Em
I've kept all the pict - ures,
Em7 Em6
But I hide my feel - ings,
Em Dmaj9 D Dmaj9 D
So no one knows, | / / / / |
Em7 Em6 Em Em7
Oh, sure, my friends all come 'round,
Em6 Em Dmaj9 D
But I'm in a crowd, and on my own,
Bm7
It's 'cause you've gone now,
Bm7/A Gmaj7 F#m7
But a heart... a heart still re - mains,
Gmaj7 F#m7
And it'll be... here, if you--- come a - gain!
[Verse 3]
Em7 Em6 Em
You see, I'd heard the ru - mours,
Em7 Em6 Em Dmaj9 D Dmaj9 D
I knew before--- you let me know, | / / / / |
Em7 Em6 Em Em7
But, I didn't believe it, ...not you,
Em6 Em Dmaj9 D Bm7
No, ...you would not let me go, seems I was wrong,
Bm7/A Gmaj7 G6 F#m7
But I love... I love you the same,
Gmaj7 G6 Dmaj9/A
And that's the one thing that you...can't take a - way,
Gmaj7 G6 Dmaj9/A
But just re - member... (oo!) | / / / / |

Gmaj7 F#m7
...If leaving me is easy,
Gmaj7 F#m7
Then, you know, coming back ...is harder!
