[A] [E]
I watched them all [A] drive away Left me standing [E] here alone
think [B] I'd have the strength To face you [E] carved in stone
ago I [A] walked away Thought distance [E] was the cure
myself that [B] time would heal That I could [E] close the door
night I [A] thought of you Your memory it [E] lingered near
hard [B] to run away Yet you're the reason [E] I'm still [A] here
stopped [A] loving you Though I never [E] let it show
I watched them all [A] drive away Left me standing [E] here alone
think [B] I'd have the strength To face you [E] carved in stone
ago I [A] walked away Thought distance [E] was the cure
myself that [B] time would heal That I could [E] close the door
night I [A] thought of you Your memory it [E] lingered near
hard [B] to run away Yet you're the reason [E] I'm still [A] here
stopped [A] loving you Though I never [E] let it show
