Sometimes I Forget chords by Loudon Wainwright Iii

• Capo on 1st

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

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


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

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


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


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


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


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


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


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