[INTRO:] C Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 C [VERSE 1:]
              Cmaj7            C             Cmaj7
Dreaming of a love I lost, the day the final bridge was crossed

    F                 C               G
Sometimes I wish that I could just forget

        G7             C          F
But the memory lingers yet and it hangs around

Em                 F                  G  Am
Leaving me low and leaving me down   

     F            Am        G            Am
Everywhere I roam, there is nobody home

     F                      Em                     F
Even I should know, when it ain't my day, there is no other way
[INTERLUDE:] G C Cmaj7 G G7 C [VERSE 2:]
           Cmaj7           C               Cmaj7
I begin to wake up to, how wrong it was to cling to you

    F               C              G
Sometimes I wish to hold you to my heart

         G7             C        F
'Cause I can't keep us apart, forgiving you

        Em                   F                G  Am
Was the easiest thing that I ever could do

     F          Am        G              Am
Everywhere I go, there is no one I know

     F               Em                F
Even I can see, it's too late now to believe in a vow
[INSTRUMENTAL:] G C G C G C F G C F G C [VERSE 3:]
             Cmaj7        C                     Cmaj7
As I wander, I return, to days gone by, there's much to be learned

    F                 C              G
Sometimes I wish that miracles could be

       G7             C       F
But at best I fail to see any happening

Em                  F                 G  Am
Some gotta lose and some gotta win

     F            Am        G            Am
Everywhere I roam, there is nobody home

     F                     Em                     F              G  Am
Even I should know when it ain't my day, there is no other way

     F          Am        G              Am
Everywhere I go, there is no one I know

     F               Em                F
Even I can see, it's too late now to believe in a vow

       G                    C
You're leaving right now
