Lyrics

No bod y lis (Absus2)tens to me; don’t hear a sin (Absus2)gle thing I’ve said.

Say an y thing (Absus2)to soothe me, an y thing that (Absus2)gets you (CN.C.)from my head.

Don’t know how I real (Absus2)ly feel; I (Eb)fake the daze to make (Absus2)like I don’t care.

Don’t know how much (Absus2)it hurts; I (Eb)turn a round like (Absus2)you were nev er there.

Like some how, (Ebmaj7)you could be re (Ab5)placed,

and I could (Ebmaj7)walk a way from the (Ab)prom is es we made and swore we’d nev er break.

I thought I lost you (Fm7)when you (Absus2)ran a way to try (Bb)to find me; I thought I’d nev er (Fm7)see your (Absus2)sweet face (Bb)a gain.

I turned a round (Fm7)and you were gone, and on and on (Bb)the days went.

I kept the mo ment that (Ab)we were in,

’cause I hoped in my heart you’d come (Bb)back to me, my (Eb)friend.

And now I got you;

but I (Fm7)thought I’d lost you.

I felt so emp (Absus2)ty out there, and there were days (Absus2)I had my doubts.

But I knew I’d find (Absus2)you some where, be (Eb)cause I knew I could (Absus2)n’t live with out you in my life for one more day.

And I swore I’d (Ebmaj7)nev er break those (Ab)prom is es we made.

I (Cm)told my (CN.C.)self I would n’t (Bb)sleep till I (Eb)searched the world from sea (Fm)to sea.

I (Cm)made a wish up on (Bb)a star; I (Fm)turn a round, and there you were.

Now (Ebmaj7)here we are, are.

Here we are.

I thought I lost I thought I lost you, too.

I thought I lost I thought I lost you.

Yeah.

I thought I lost you (Fm7)when you (Absus2)ran a way to try (Bb)to find me; I thought I’d nev er (Fm7)see your sweet face (Bb)a gain.

I turned a round (Fm7)and you were gone, and on and on (Bb)the days went.

I kept the mo ment that (Ab)we were in,

’cause I hoped in my heart you’d come (Bb)back to me, my (Eb)friend.

And now I got you;

but I (Fm7)thought I lost you.

(Absus2)But I thought I lost you.

thought I lost you, too.

(Absus2)So glad I (Eb)got you, got (Absus2)you.

(Absus2)So glad I (Eb)got you, (Absus2)yeah, yeah.

I thought I lost I you.

I lost you, too.
