Verse 1
Em7                        Em6   Em
     I read all the lett - ers,
Em7                   Em6  Em          Dmaj9        D
     I read each word...   that you've sent to me,
                 Bm7
And, though it's past now,
Bm7/A            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
     I've kept all the pict - ures,
Em7                       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
It's 'cause you've gone now,
Bm7/A        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
     You see, I'd heard the ru - mours,
Em7               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
No, ...you would not  let me go,      seems I was wrong,
Bm7/A        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!)  |  /  /  /  /  |

Gmaj7                  F#m7
   ...If leaving me is easy,
         Gmaj7                     F#m7
Then, you know, coming back ...is harder!
