Lyrics

I still can re mem ber

the last time I cried I was (Ab)hold ing you and lov ing you

know ing it would (Bb7)end.

I nev er (Eb)felt so good

yet (Eb7)felt so bad,

you’re the one I love

and what (Abm)makes it sad

is (Fm7)you don’t be long

to (Bb11)me.

And I can re mem ber

the last time I lied.

I was (Ab)hold ing you and tell ing you

we could still be (Bb7)friends.

Tried to (Eb)let you go,

but I (Eb7)can’t you know,

and (Ab)e ven though I’m not with you I (Abm)need

you so, but (Fm7)you don’t be long

to (Bb11)me.

Com ing in

and (Ab)out of your life

is n’t (Eb)eas y,

when there’s (Ab)so man y nights (G)I can’t (Cm)hold you,

and I’ve (Eb7)told you

these (Abmaj7)feel ings are so (Gm7)hard to (Fm7)find.

Com ing in

and (Ab)out of your life will nev er (Eb)free me,

’cause I (Ab)don’t need to touch you (G)to (Cm)feel you,

it’s (Eb7)real with you,

I just (Abmaj7)can’t get you (Gm7)out of my mind.

But I can re mem ber

the last time we (Gm7)tried,

each (Ab)need ing more than we could give, and know ing all the time.

A strong er (Ebmaj7)love just (Eb7)can’t be found,

e ven (Ab)though at times this cra zy world is (Abm)turn ing up side down,

you’ll (Fm7)al ways be long

to (Bb7)me.

(Com ing in

and out of your life) is

n’t (Eb)eas y

when there’s (Ab)so man y times (G)I can’t (Cm)hold you

and I’ve (Eb7)told you

these (Abmaj7)feel ings are so (Gm7)hard to find.

(Com ing in Com ing in and (Bb11)out of your life will nev

er free (Gm7)me.

I (Ab)don’t need to touch you (G)to (Cm)feel you,

it’s so (Eb7)real with you,

I (Abmaj7)can’t get you (Gm7)out of my mind.

But I can re mem ber.
