E ven (Bb)now

when there’s (Ebmaj7)some one else who cares,

when there’s (Cm7)some one home who’s wait ing just for (Bb)me.

E ven (Ebmaj7)now I think a bout you as I’m (Gm7)climb ing up the stairs,

and I (Bb)won der what to do so she won’t (F7)see

that e ven (Bb)now

when I (Ebmaj7)know it was n’t right,

and I’ve (Cm7)found a bet ter life than what we (Bb)had.

E ven (Ebmaj7)now I wake up cry ing in the (Gm7)mid dle of the night

and I (Bb)can’t be lieve it still could hurt so (F7)see

that e ven (F7sus)bad.

(F7)E ven (Bb)now

when I have come so (Am7)far,

I (D7)won der where you (Gm7)are.

I (C)won der why it’s (Eb)still so (Eb)hard with (Eb)out you.

(Cm7)E ven (Bb)now

when I come shin ing (Am7)through,

I (D7)swear I think of (Gm7)you,

and (C)how I wish you (F7sus)knew

e ven (Bb)now.

E ven (Bb)now

when I (Ebmaj7)nev er hear your name,

and the (Cm7)world has changed so much since you’ve been (Bb)gone.

E ven (Ebmaj7)now I still re mem ber and the (Gm7)feel ing’s still the same,

and the (Bb)pain in side of me goes on and (F7sus)on

some (F#)how
