[Intro]

[Verse 1]
C
I still remember when
F G
we used to talk
C
You never said much
F G
but I knew what you thought
C
Cause you wrote it down for me
F G
long ago
C
I read your letters to keep from
F G
feeling alone

[Instrumental]
C F G

[Verse 2]
C
There’s not just one thing
F G
I could point to
C
That began to push me
F G
away from you
C
All I can say is
F G
that I changed
C F G
It was just like you to stay the same
C F G
Stay the same

[Verse 3]
C
My favorite thing was how
F G
right you made me feel
C
You let me sleep while
F G
you took the wheel
C
But when I woke up
F G
you were nowhere to be seen
C
Can’t help but think if
F G
it all just me

[Verse 4]
C
I dusted off some
F G
of those old notes
C
And tried to recapture
F G
that sensation of hope
C
Page after page
F G
my eyes all a blur
C
But I could not feel you
F G
in any those words

[Instrumental]
C F G

[Verse 5]
C
Maybe we’ll meet again on
Fm7 C
different terms
C
When those old ways
Fm7 C
have finally been unlearned
C
I might find out
F G
that I had you wrong
C
And you’ve just been waiting
F G
on me all along
