Introduction: Em Am7/E B/E Em
Am7 D7
I'm trying so hard to forget you.
G7M C7M
And leave the life we had behind.
F#/A#
And there are times I feel the day has come,
B7 Em Em7M Em7
I've chased you from my mind.
E7/G# Am7 D7
But I'm afraid there's always something,
G7M C7M
That sets me back and makes me see.
F#/A#
You're more than just a memory in the past,
B7 Em
You're still a part of me.
(Chorus:)
Am7 D7
So how do I stop loving you?
G7M G7M/F# Em
Forget things that we used to do?
Em/D A B
Forget all the dreams that we shared?
Em
And how my life was knowing you cared?
E7/G# Am7 C/E D7/C G7M C7M
Why do I end up where I start, each time I try?
Am7 B7
Just tell me how I can forget,
Em Am7/E B/E Em
So I can say goodbye...
Am7 D7
I'm tired of all the lonely evenings,
G7M C7M
And all the many times I've cried.
F#/A#
I'm tired of wondering what I might have done
B7 Em Em7M Em7
to keep you by my side.
E7/G# Am7 D7
And reaching out across your pillow,
G7M C7M
I start remembering you're gone.
F#/A#
And though I know that we can never be,
B7 Em
The pain in me goes on.
(Chorus repeat)
