Chords with lyrics
Intro:
G+G B minorBm A minorAm C majorC G+G
G+G B minorBm
I am reaching for the mantel where your picture and a candle stand,
A minorAm C majorC G+G
Too harsh a reminder to let stay.
G+G B minorBm
So I find a drawer that s deep and safe and I turn around
A minorAm C majorC G+G
and I walk away, surprised that I have found the strength at last.
G+G B minorBm
Every time the phone will ring I cannot seem to help but think that
A minorAm C majorC G+G
maybe it is you there on the line.
G+G B minorBm
But I know it s not and I must agree it was all just too hard for
A minorAm C majorC G+G
you and me, so the ringing goes unanswered every time.
Chorus:
D MajorD C majorC G+G
Oh, I am left with these reminders
D MajorD C majorC G+G
Oh, will this hurtin? ever mend?
D MajorD C majorC G+G
Oh, it hurts to turn around and find you gone
A minorAm C majorC G+G
And me, here all alone again.
G+G B minorBm
That old man down at the coffee shop still asks me every time I stop
A minorAm C majorC G+G
by the way, how s the nice lady been?
G+G B minorBm
I just say you re doing fine, and I hope I m right cause I hate
A minorAm C majorC G+G
lying, and truth be known I m wishing you all the best.
G+G B minorBm
But every black car at every red light still takes my breath cause
A minorAm C majorC
I know it might be you, and that s just something
G+G
I cannot deal with yet.
G+G B minorBm
So I stick to roads that I know you would never have the cause to go
A minorAm C majorC G+G
And so far I ve only broke down twice, that s right.
Chorus:
G+G B minorBm
It all comes down to just one thought, we thought we were but
A minorAm C majorC G+G
I guess we re not, and now we ve got reminders all around.
G+G B minorBm
You ve got yours and I ve got mine and someday we ll turn around and
A minorAm C majorC G+G
Find that somewhere in the middle the truth was lying.
D MajorD C majorC G+G
And oh, we ll be free of these reminders.
D MajorD C majorC G+G
Oh, man, this old hurt will finally mend
D MajorD C majorC G+G
Oh, it won t hurt to turn and find you gone
A minorAm C majorC G+G
And me, here all alone again.
