Biography:
Dallas-based American singer-songwriter Max Stalling never expected to be a full-time country and western musician. After earning his college degree from Texas A&M in food science, he worked for Rainbo Bread and Frito Lay. But following the critically lauded and audience-proven successes of his first three CDs, Comfort In The Curves in 1997, Wide Afternoon in 2000, and One Of The Ways in 2002, he traded his lab coat for cowboy boots and has been touring ever since - performing at more than 150 honky tonks and smoky dancehalls each year.

[Intro]
G Bm Am C G
[Verse]
G Bm
I am reaching for the mantel where your picture and a candle stand,
Am C G
Too harsh a reminder to let stay.
G Bm
So I find a drawer that?s deep and safe and I turn around
Am C G
and I walk away, surprised that I have found the strength at last.
G Bm
Every time the phone will ring I cannot seem to help but think that
Am C G
maybe it is you there on the line.
G Bm
But I know it?s not and I must agree it was all just too hard for
Am C G
you and me, so the ringing goes unanswered every time.
[Chorus]
D C G
Oh, I am left with these reminders
D C G
Oh, will this hurtin? ever mend?
D C G
Oh, it hurts to turn around and find you gone
Am C G
And me, here all alone again.
G Bm
That old man down at the coffee shop still asks me every time I stop
Am C G
by the way, how?s the nice lady been?
G Bm
I just say you?re doing fine, and I hope I?m right ?cause I hate
[Verse]
Am C G
lying, and truth be known I?m wishing you all the best.
G Bm
But every black car at every red light still takes my breath cause
Am C
I know it might be you, and that?s just something
G
I cannot deal with yet.
G Bm
So I stick to roads that I know you would never have the cause to go
Am C G
And so far I?ve only broke down twice, that?s right.
[Chorus]
G Bm
It all comes down to just one thought, we thought we were but
Am C G
I guess we?re not, and now we?ve got reminders all around.
G Bm
You?ve got yours and I?ve got mine and someday we?ll turn around and
Am C G
Find that somewhere in the middle the truth was lying.
D C G
And oh, we?ll be free of these reminders.
D C G
Oh, man, this old hurt will finally mend
D C G
Oh, it won?t hurt to turn and find you gone
Am C G
And me, here all alone again.
