[Verse 1]
C
I still remember when
F          G
we used to talk
C
You never said much
F                   G
but I knew what you thought
C
Cause you wrote it down for me
F     G
long ago
C
I read your letters to keep from
F        G
feeling alone
 
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
C
There's not just one thing
F             G
I could point to
C
That began to push me
F         G
away from you
C
All I can say is
       F      G
that I changed
                 C               F    G
It was just like you to stay the same
         C    F  G
Stay the same
 
 
[Verse 3]
C
My favorite thing was how
F                 G
right you made me feel
C
You let me sleep while
F            G
you took the wheel
    C
But when I woke up
         F             G
you were nowhere to be seen
C
Can't help but think if
F           G
it all just me

[Verse 4]
C
I dusted off some
F            G
of those old notes
    C
And tried to recapture
     F            G
that sensation of hope
C
Page after page
   F          G
my eyes all a blur
    C
But I could not feel you
   F         G
in any those words
 
 
[Instrumental]
C F G
 
 
[Verse 5]
C
Maybe we'll meet again on
Fm7       C
different terms
C
When those old ways
     Fm7            C
have finally been unlearned
C
I might find out
F              G
that I had you wrong
C
And you've just been waiting
   F       G
on me all along
 
[Outro]
