Loudon Wainwright III - Sometimes i forget

^GSometimes I forget^C that you've gone ^DYou've gone, and you're not coming ^Gback ^{D G}And it's hard to believe^C that you're still not here ^DWhat's left behind, disputes that ^Gfact

^CYour closet's full of your ^Gclothes and your shoes ^CAnd your bookcase still holds all your ^Gbooks ^CIt's as if all you've done is go out of ^Gtown ^CYou'll be back soon, that's just^D how it looks

^AmBut your suitcase is empty, ^Git's right here in the hall ^AmThat's not even the strangest ^Gthing ^AmWhy would you leave your wal^Glet behind ^CYour glasses, your ^Dwristwatch and ^Amring ^CYour glasses, your ^Dwristwatch and ^Gring

^GSometimes I forget^C that you've gone ^DThat we'll never see you ^Gagain ^{D G}I think for a moment, I've got to give him a ^Ccall ^DBut I can't now I realize ^Gthat

^CNo we can't meet for lunch at the ^Gusual place ^CThe place where we always^G would go ^CAnd there was something I wanted to tell you ^Gso bad ^CSomething I knew that you'd^D want to know

^AmI could go by myself ^Gto our old haunt ^AmThat seems like such a stran^Gge thing to do ^AmThe waiters would wonder what was ^Ggoing on ^CWhy weren't you ^Dthere, where were ^Amyou ^CWhy weren't you t^Dhere, where were ^Gyou

^GSometimes I forget^C that you've gone ^DI remember and I feel the ^Gache ^{D G}How could it have happened,^C how could it be ^DIt's not true, there must be ^Gsome mistake

^CMomentos, memories,^G tell me what good are they ^CNo they're not much to have and to ^Ghold ^CAnd it's true that you're gone and you're not coming ^Gback ^CAnd this world seems so empty and ^Dcold

^AmBut sometimes things happen It doesn't seem ^Gstrange ^AmYou're not far away, you're ^Gnear ^AmSometimes I forget ^Gthat you've gone ^CSometimes it feels ^Dlike you're ^Amright here ^CRight now it ^Dfeels like you're right ^Ghere
