[Verse 1]
Em7 Em6 Em Em7
I read all the lett - ers,
Em6 Em Dmaj9 D
I read each word... that you've sent to me,
Bm7 Bm7/A
And, though it's past now,
Gmaj7 F#m7
And your words ...start to fade,
Gmaj7 F#m7
All the memories I have...still re - main!

[Verse 2]
Em7 Em6 Em Em7
I've kept all the pict - ures,
Em6
But I hide my feel - ings,
Em Dmaj9 D Dmaj9 D
So no one knows,
Em7 Em6 Em Em7
Oh, sure, my friends all come 'round,
Em6 Em Dmaj9 D
But I'm in a crowd, and on my own,
Bm7 Bm7/A
It's 'cause you've gone now,
Gmaj7 F#m7
But a heart... a heart still re - mains,
Gmaj7 F#m7
And it'll be... here, if you--- come a - gain!

[Verse 3]
Em7 Em6 Em Em7
You see, I'd heard the ru - mours,
Em6 Em Dmaj9 D Dmaj9 D
I knew before--- you let me know,
Em7 Em6 Em Em7
But, I didn't believe it, not you,
Em6 Em Dmaj9 D Bm7 Bm7/A
No, you would not let me go, ...seems I was wrong,
Gmaj7 G6 F#m7
But I love... I love you the same,
Gmaj7 G6 Dmaj9/A
And that's the one thing that you...can't take a - way,
Gmaj7 G6 Dmaj9/A
But just re - member... (oo!)
