G                 C
[tab]D                                  G      D
You've gone, and you're not coming back

G                       C
And it's hard to believe that you're still not here

D                                 G
What's left behind, disputes that fact

C                          G
Your closet's full of your clothes and your shoes

C                                      G
And your bookcase still holds all your books

C                                       G
It's as if all you've done is go out of town

C                               D
You'll be back soon, that's just how it looks

Am                          G
But your suitcase is empty, it's right here in the hall

Am                            G
That's not even the strangest thing

Am                          G
Why would you leave your wallet behind

C                  D              Am
Your glasses, your wristwatch and ring

C                  D              G
Your glasses, your wristwatch and ring

G                 C
Sometimes I forget that you've gone

D                        G      D
That we'll never see you again

G                                            C
I think for a moment, I've got to give him a call

D                         G
But I can't now I realize that

C                                 G
No we can't meet for lunch at the usual place

C                        G
The place where we always would go

C                                            G
And there was something I wanted to tell you so bad

C                          D
Something I knew that you'd want to know

Am                   G
I could go by myself to our old haunt

Am                          G
That seems like such a strange thing to do

Am                                G
The waiters would wonder what was going on

C               D                 Am
Why weren't you there, where were you

C                D                G
Why weren't you there, where were you

G                 C
Sometimes I forget that you've gone

D                         G      D
I remember and I feel the ache

G                          C
How could it have happened, how could it be

D                            G
It's not true, there must be some mistake

C                  G
Momentos, memories, tell me what good are they

C                                  G
No they're not much to have and to hold

C                                                    G
And it's true that you're gone and you're not coming back

C                                 D
And this world seems so empty and cold

Am                                          G
But sometimes things happen It doesn't seem strange

Am                          G
You're not far away, you're near

Am                 G
Sometimes I forget that you've gone

C                  D           Am
Sometimes it feels like you're right here

C            D                       G
Right now it feels like you're right here
