Lyrics

Where are those hap py days?

They seem so hard to find.

I try to reach for you, but you have closed my mind.

What ev er hap pened to our love?

I wish I un der stood.

It used to be so nice, it used to be so good.

So when you’re (G)near me, dar ling, can you (F)hear me?

The love you (G)gave me, noth ing else can (F)save me.

When you’re gone,

how can (Ab)I e ven try to go (C)on?

When you’re gone,

though I (Ab)try, how can I car ry (C)on?

You seem so far a way, though you are stand ing near.

You make me feel a live, but some thing died, I (Dm)fear.

I real ly tried to make it out.

I wish I un der stood.

What hap pened to our love?

It used to be so good.

So when you’re (C)near me, dar ling, can you (Bb)hear me?

The love you (C)gave me, noth ing else can (Bb)save me.

When you’re gone,

how can (Db)I e ven try to go (F)on?

When you’re gone,

though I (Db)try, how can I car ry on?
