[Strophe]
Em7                        Em6  Em  Em7 
     I read all the lett - ers, 
                 Em6  Em          Dmaj9       D 
I read each word...   that you've sent to me, 
                 Bm7       Bm7/A 
And, though it's past now, 
         Gmaj7             F#m7 
And your words ...start to fade, 
        Gmaj7                        F#m7 
All the memories I have...still re - main
[Strophe]
Em7                          Em6  Em  Em7 
     I've kept all the pic - tures, 
                     Em6 
But I hide my feel - ings, 
Em Dmaj9          D    Dmaj9  D 
So no one knows, 
Em7                      Em6 Em    Em7 
    Oh, sure, my friends all come 'round, 
             Em6    Em  Dmaj9       D 
But I'm in a crowd, and on my own, 
                   Bm7      Bm7/A 
It's 'cause you've gone now, 
      Gmaj7                       F#m7 
But a heart... a heart still re - mains, 
          Gmaj7                          F#m7 
And it'll be... here, if you--- come a - gain
[Strophe]
Em7                              Em6  Em  Em7 
     You see, I'd heard the ru - mours, 
             Em6  Em  Dmaj9         D   Dmaj9  D 
I knew before---  you let me know, 
Em7                       Em6  Em  Em7 
    But, I didn't believe it,  not you, 
         Em6  Em Dmaj9       D          Bm7        Bm7/A 
No, you would not let me go, ...seems I was wrong, 
      Gmaj7   G6                 F#m7 
But I love...     I love you the same, 
               Gmaj7          G6                 Dmaj9/A 
And that's the one thing that you can't take a - way, 
              Gmaj7      G6     Dmaj9/A 
But just re - member... (oo!)

[Strophe]
Gmaj7                  F#m7 
   ...If leaving me is easy, 
          Gmaj7                F#m7 
Then, you know, coming back is harder
[Outro]
Gmaj7                    F#m7 
Hoh, ...if leaving me is easy, 
          Gmaj7                F#m7                   Gmaj7 
Then, you know, coming back is harder!  [Repeat]
