Mama said the tears might stick around
G minorGm          FF          C majorC
Write it down in a song to drown them out
         G minorGm
But on days like this I’m thinking of him
      FF              C majorC
And all the lovin’ that I miss, now he’s gone
         G minorGm

Can't feel the things that lovers feel on my own

And all the loving that I miss, now he's gone

Can't do the things that lovers do on my own
