Lyrics

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

Say an y thing to soothe me; an y thing that gets you from my head.

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

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

Like some how (F)you could be re (Bb)placed.

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

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

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

I kept the mo ment that (Bb)we were (F)in.

I hoped in my heart you’d come (C)back to me my friend and now I got you,

but I (Gm)thought I lost you.
