[Em7] I read all the lett - [Em6]ers, [Em] [Em7] I read each word.[Em6].. t[Em]hat you've [Dmaj9]sent to me,[D]
And, though it's [Bm7]past now, [Bm7/A] and your [Gmaj7]words... start to [F#m7]fade,
All the m[Gmaj7]emories I have... still re -[F#m7] main!

[Em7] I've kept all the pict - u[Em6]res,[Em]
[Em7] But I hide my feel - [Em6]ings, [Em]so [Dmaj9] no one knows, [D] | [Dmaj9] / / [D]/ / |
[Em7] Oh, sure, my friends [Em6]all c[Em]ome 'r[Em7]ound, but I'm in a c[Em6]rowd, [Em]and [Dmaj9] on my own,[D]
It's 'cause you've g[Bm7]one now, [Bm7/A] but a [Gmaj7]heart... a heart still re - [F#m7]mains,
And it'll[Gmaj7] be... here, if you--- come a - [F#m7]gain!

[Em7] You see, I'd heard the ru - m[Em6]ours,[Em]
[Em7] I knew before[Em6]--- [Em]you [Dmaj9] let me know, [D] | [Dmaj9] / / [D]/ / |
[Em7] But, I didn't believe[Em6] it, [Em]not [Em7]you, no, you w[Em6]ould [Em]not [Dmaj9] let me go,[D]
Seems I [Bm7]was wrong, [Bm7/A] but I [Gmaj7]love...[G6] I love you the [F#m7]same,
Gmaj7 G6 [ch]Dmaj9/A[/ch]
And that's the one thing that you... can't take a - way,
