I haven't seen it posted here or in the Nevada archive. It is a vintage Jim Cuddy love ballad. I hope everything is clear (I'm a virgin poster). NOTE: When playing the Esus in the intro and throughout, hammer the A note (on the G string). I tried to indicate that with an "h" in the Intro TAB. Just email me if anyone needs help deciphering.

I must have thought you'd always be here I never even noticed when the changes came one day Seems one minute you were standing close I turned around again and girl you were far away BRIDGE 2: And every plan we made, I just let them fade And pile up on the floor beside the bed Now you're gone away but your memory stays I sit here thinking of the things I never said CHORUS INSTRUMENTAL (play chords from the verse) BRIDGE 3: Sometimes love quits when the pieces don't fit And suddenly all your world falls to the floor Now you're gone away, but your memory stays I hear your voice behind every single door CHORUS E E7 A Am E ... everything ...
