CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
F C
Oh, I think you're lost to me
F C
Just a stranger I will never see
Em C
I drove away and I walked out that door
C F C F C
But you had left us long before
[Verse 2]
G Am F C
The year we spent there was strange and slow
G Am F C
Like all the cars in that rare southern snow
G Am F C
We ventured out without a plan or fear
G Am F G Dm7 G C F C
It was probably not a great idea
[Verse 3]
G Am F C
It's not about the things I wanted then
G Am F C
I've come to see now that I couldn't have used them
G Am F C
All the same, it's true that even now
G Am F C
I'd like to talk to you somehow
[Verse 4]
G Am F C
I'd want to find out if you've heard that song
G Am F C
I'd want to tell you mine are coming along
G Am F C
Your family's well and healthy, I suppose
G Am F G Dm7 G C F C
I'm really curious to know
[Verse 5]
G Am F C
In the dimness of those last days gloom
G Am F C
While I was packing up the spare bedroom
G Am F C
You came and offered me a solemn word
G Am F C
About a voice you'd often heard
[Verse 6]
G Am F C
It was a moment when I saw inside
G Am F C
A little break from all that stoic pride
G Am F C
Do I think now that this would ring a bell
G Am F G Dm7 G C F C
You know, I couldn't even tell you
[Verse 7]
G Am F C
Oh, my friend, you're lost to me
G Am F C
Another stranger I will never see
G Am F C
Oh, my friend, you're lost to me
G Am F C
Another stranger I will never see
