The Mountain Goats are an American band formed in Claremont, California, by singer-songwriter John Darnielle. The band is currently based in Durham, North Carolina. For many years, the sole member of the Mountain Goats was Darnielle, despite the plural moniker. The Mountain Goats are, for all practical purposes, the endlessly clever and prolific John Darnielle and whatever musicians he surrounds himself with, which means that while the soundscape may change from project to project

---VERSE---
BmD This is just to say hello A And to let you know Em I think of you from time to time BmD I know I never really knew you A But somehow I miss you Em And wish that you'd stayed in my life GD Making contact gets harder A As the silence grows longer Bm And isn't it only me GD Who'd like us to see each other? A How I would hate to be a bother Bm The way we left it was you'd ring
---CHORUS---
DGBm I'm under no illusion DGBm As to what I meant to you GD But you made an impression DGBm And sometimes I still feel the bruise DGBm Sometimes I still feel the bruise
---BRIDGE---

---VERSE---
BmD Now and then I stumble on A What I've misplaced but never lost Em An ache I first felt long ago BmD Though you've appeared and disappeared A Throughout these past few years Em I'd be surprised if you now showed GD Making contact gets harder A As the silence grows longer Bm And why would you think of me GD When you were not the one in love? A When you were not the dreamer? Bm When you were just the dream?
---CHORUS---
DGBm I'm under no illusion DGBm As to what I meant to you GD But you made an impression DGBm And sometimes I still feel the bruise DGBm Sometimes I still feel the bruise
