GC Sometimes I forget that you've gone DGD You've gone, and you're not coming back GC And it's hard to believe that you're still not here DG What's left behind, disputes that fact
CG Your closet's full of your clothes and your shoes CG And your bookcase still holds all your books CG It's as if all you've done is go out of town CD You'll be back soon, that's just how it looks
AmG But your suitcase is empty, it's right here in the hall AmG That's not even the strangest thing AmG Why would you leave your wallet behind CDAm Your glasses, your wristwatch and ring CDG Your glasses, your wristwatch and ring
GC Sometimes I forget that you've gone DGD That we'll never see you again GC I think for a moment, I've got to give him a call DG But I can't now I realize that
CG No we can't meet for lunch at the usual place CG The place where we always would go CG And there was something I wanted to tell you so bad CD Something I knew that you'd want to know
AmG I could go by myself to our old haunt AmG That seems like such a strange thing to do AmG The waiters would wonder what was going on CDAm Why weren't you there, where were you CDG Why weren't you there, where were you
GC Sometimes I forget that you've gone DGD I remember and I feel the ache GC How could it have happened, how could it be DG It's not true, there must be some mistake
CG Momentos, memories, tell me what good are they CG No they're not much to have and to hold CG And it's true that you're gone and you're not coming back CD And this world seems so empty and cold
AmG But sometimes things happen It doesn't seem strange AmG You're not far away, you're near AmG Sometimes I forget that you've gone CDAm Sometimes it feels like you're right here CDG Right now it feels like you're right here
