Said that he was see in’ some bod y and told me this was (Fmaj7)gon na last, show in’ (Abmaj7)me her pho to graph.

And all the feel in’s that I thought were gone

came rush in’ back to me at once.

Tried to smile and hide the way I felt,

but I was think in’ to my self.

Truth is, I nev er got o ver you.

Truth is, wish I was stand in’ in her shoes.

Truth is you’re And when in it’s all love.

and it’s kill ing me ’cause now I know.

We rem i nisced on the (Fmaj7)way things used (Am7)to be.

Shared a cou ple laughs and some mem o ries.

Talked a bout the (Fmaj7)things that changed, some for (Abmaj7)good and some for bad.

Then he said good (Fmaj7)bye and he payed for lunch.

Prom ised that we’d al ways keep in touch.

Grabbed my bags and (Fmaj7)grabbed my thoughts, walked a (Abmaj7)way and that was that.

Now the (Bbmaj7)truth is it (CN.C.)hurts but I know that the fault’s mine
