DSlowly the pen touches paper in the
Gguidance of the words that you write
BmMemories rolled in of the things you once did
D (G)
And who you had shared them with.
Bm A D (G)(A)
Is somebody thinking of you?
Did DI bother telling you this?
With the Gwords that cross teeth and jump lips
A Bmpoor choice of words in wanting to tell you everything
D (G)
But words don't come with ease;
Bm A D (G)(A)
they're forever my hurt
D Would it really matter
if you were to Gcount the days left with your hands?
Your Bmfocus secure and the love you left well
D (G) Bm A D (G)(A)
Smiles staged in photographs here until...
PreChorus:
A G (Fill)
You, you left the light on
There's a chance I might have Atripped girl
G (Fill)
You were there to hold on
(Fill) or play G
