_ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [D] _
_ [G] _ I've lost count of the hours And I've lost track of the [D] time
And you know why, darling?
[Fm] I lost my [A] watch
_ In fact, I lost a lot of things when you [D] went away
What are you gonna do [Am] with all my junk?
[D] _
_ [G] _ Still, I cling to the memory of when we used to go [D] together
Why I must have [A] gone with you for_ _
_ [G] That's something I can't even remember [D] what I went with you for
_ _ _ But [Am] I do remember the [D] nights when we'd [G] stroll hand in hand
And I'd look up at the sky and recite your [D] favorite poem
Starkle, starkle, little [Bb] twink
_ [A] Oh yeah, that reminds me
I've been reading so [D] much about the evils of drinking
[Am] That I've [D] decided to give it [G] up

[Bb] _ [Eb] _ This flame in my [Bbm] heart is like [Eb] an eternal fire
[Ab] _ It's the worst case of heartburn I've ever had
[Eb] And I haven't been able to put out not one little flicker
[C]
Not even [Bb] with all this fear, I mean tears
_ My friends [Eb] think that I'm crazy
_ [Bbm] Maybe I am
[Eb]
But I'll carry [Ab] this torch just as long as I can
But you know that one of these days [Eb] it's gonna get awful short
And if I [Bb] don't drop it, well, someday you may just [Ab] come home
And find that I've made an ash of [Eb] myself _
_ Still, _ [Bbm] though I [Eb] told this [Ab] torch
Still, _ it's beginning to [Eb] scorch
_ I [Bb] _ can't [Ab] hold still
_ _ _ [Eb]
