Key: G
Introduction:
G Em
You've been a part of my life for so very long
C D7
It's hard for me to believe sometimes that you're really gone
G Em
I tuck your memory away in my special hiding place
C D7
Hoping no one can tell by the look on my face
C D7
That you're still in my heart and always on my mind
C D7
And part of my everyday
G Em
Like just last night I went out for a bite
C D7
I tried to have fun with all of my might
G Em
But even the laughter it wasn't much of a break
C D7
'Cause right in the middle of my salad and steak
C D7
Bobby Joe walked in with a couple of friends
C D7
And said, "Hey have you heard from her at all man like, Where's she been?"
(Chorus:)
G
And it, struck a nerve
Em
And it, hit a vein
C
You'd think from all the tears I cried
D7
And this broken-hearted pain
G
I wouldn't have to carry you around with me
Em C
But it seems like everywhere I go
D7 C
Somebody wants to know where you been
D7 C
Are you comin' back again, I swear
D7 G Em C D7
I can't take you anywhere
So I left all alone, just headed back home
C D7
I swear, I can't take you
C
Just can't take you
G
I can't take you anywhere
