• Capo on 1st

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

G+G         C majorC
Sometimes I forget that you've gone
D MajorD                 G+G   D MajorD
You've gone, and you're not coming back
G+G            C majorC
And it's hard to believe that you're still not here
D MajorD                 G+G
What's left behind, disputes that fact


C majorC             G+G
Your closet's full of your clothes and your shoes
C majorC                   G+G
And your bookcase still holds all your books
C majorC                    G+G
It's as if all you've done is go out of town
C majorC                D MajorD
You'll be back soon, that's just how it looks

A minorAm             G+G
But your suitcase is empty, it's right here in the hall
A minorAm              G+G
That's not even the strangest thing
A minorAm             G+G
Why would you leave your wallet behind
C majorC         D MajorD       A minorAm
Your glasses, your wristwatch and ring
C majorC         D MajorD       G+G
Your glasses, your wristwatch and ring


G+G         C majorC
Sometimes I forget that you've gone
D MajorD            G+G   D MajorD
That we'll never see you again
G+G                      C majorC
I think for a moment, I've got to give him a call
D MajorD             G+G
But I can't now I realize that


C majorC                 G+G
No we can't meet for lunch at the usual place
C majorC            G+G
The place where we always would go
C majorC                      G+G
And there was something I wanted to tell you so bad
C majorC             D MajorD
Something I knew that you'd want to know

A minorAm          G+G
I could go by myself to our old haunt
A minorAm             G+G
That seems like such a strange thing to do
A minorAm                G+G
The waiters would wonder what was going on
C majorC        D MajorD         A minorAm
Why weren't you there, where were you
C majorC        D MajorD        G+G
Why weren't you there, where were you


G+G         C majorC
Sometimes I forget that you've gone
D MajorD             G+G   D MajorD
I remember and I feel the ache
G+G             C majorC
How could it have happened, how could it be
D MajorD              G+G
It's not true, there must be some mistake


C majorC         G+G
Momentos, memories, tell me what good are they
C majorC                 G+G
No they're not much to have and to hold
C majorC                          G+G
And it's true that you're gone and you're not coming back
C majorC                 D MajorD
And this world seems so empty and cold


A minorAm                     G+G
But sometimes things happen It doesn't seem strange
A minorAm             G+G
You're not far away, you're near
A minorAm         G+G
Sometimes I forget that you've gone
C majorC         D MajorD      A minorAm
Sometimes it feels like you're right here
C majorC      D MajorD            G+G
Right now it feels like you're right here
