Bm                     D
This is just to say hello

                 A
And to let you know

                         Em
I think of you from time to time

Bm                          D
I know I never really knew you

                    A
But somehow I miss you

                                Em
And wish that you'd stayed in my life

G                      D
Making contact gets harder

                        A
As the silence grows longer

                 Bm
And isn't it only me

G                             D
Who'd like us to see each other?

                            A
How I would hate to be a bother

                              Bm
The way we left it was you'd ring
---CHORUS---
D      G          Bm
I'm under no illusion

D        G           Bm
As to what I meant to you

G                     D
But you made an impression

D         G                    Bm
And sometimes I still feel the bruise

D          G                 Bm
Sometimes I still feel the bruise
---BRIDGE--- | Bm | D | A | Em| x 1 ---VERSE---
Bm                      D
Now and then I stumble on

                               A
What I've misplaced but never lost

                           Em
An ache I first felt long ago

Bm                               D
Though you've appeared and disappeared

                             A
Throughout these past few years

                             Em
I'd be surprised if you now showed

G                     D
Making contact gets harder

                        A
As the silence grows longer

                           Bm
And why would you think of me

G                             D
When you were not the one in love?

                          A
When you were not the dreamer?

                         Bm
When you were just the dream?
---CHORUS---
D      G        Bm
I'm under no illusion

D      G             Bm
As to what I meant to you

G                     D
But you made an impression

D         G                      Bm
And sometimes I still feel the bruise

D       G                    Bm
Sometimes I still feel the bruise
