Lyrics

No bod y (Bbsus2)lis tens to me; don’t hear a (Bbsus2)sin gle thing I’ve (F)said.

Say an y (Bbsus2)thing to soothe me, an y thing that (Bbsus2)gets you from my (F)head.

Don’t know how I (Bbsus2)real ly feel; I (F)fake the daze to (Bbsus2)make like I don’t (F)care.

Don’t know how (Bbsus2)much it hurts; I (F)turn a round like (Bbsus2)you were nev er there.

Like some how, (F)you could be re (Bb5)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 (Gm7)lost you when you (Csus)ran a way to try to find me; I thought I’d (Gm7)nev er see your (Csus)sweet

face a gain.

I turned a (Gm7)round and you were (Csus)gone, and on and on the days went.

I kept the mo ment that (Bb)we were (F)in, (Dm7)’cause I hoped in my heart you’d come (C)back to me, my (F)friend.

And now I (Gm7)got you;

(F)but I (Gm)thought I’d (F)lost you.

I felt so (Bbsus2)emp ty out there, and there were (Bbsus2)days I had my (F)doubts but I knew I’d (Bbsus2)find you some where, be (Bbsus2)cause I knew I could n’t live with (Gm7)out you in my (F)life for one more (Bb5)day.

(Gm7)And I swore I’d (F)nev er break those (Bb)prom is es we made.

I thought I (Gm7)lost you when you (Csus)ran a way to try to find me; I thought I’d (Gm7)nev er see your (Csus)sweet

face a gain.

I turned a (Gm7)round and you were (Csus)gone, and on and on the days went.

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

(Dm7)’cause I hoped in my heart you’d come (C)back to me, my (F)friend.

And now I (Gm7)got you;

(F)but I (Gm)thought I’d (F)lost you.

(Gm7)And I swore I’d (F)nev er break those (Bb)prom is es we made.

I (Dm)told my self I would (C)n’t sleep till I (F)searched the world from sea (Gm)to sea.

I (Dm)made a wish up on (C)a star; I (F)turn a round, and there (Gm)you were.

Now (F)here we are, are.

(F)lost you.

I thought I (F)lost you.
