  			Intro: (A)  (D)  (A)  (E)  (F#m)  (D)  (A)  (E)  (D) 
 
(A) Long time ago, in a far off place 
I got caught up in a pretty face 
(D) Diamond eyes, that stole my heart a(A)way (D)  
(A) I would young, and so naive 
I never thought you would ever leave 
But (D) you packed your bags, and left for Santa (E) Fe 
(F#m) Now, you're at my (D) door again 
(F#m) Askin' me to (D) take you in 
(F#m) But this time (D) things won't work that (E) way 
 
 	 Many tears a(A)go 	  
 	 (D) I (A) thought I (E) loved you 
 	 Many tears a(F#m)go 
 	 I thought my (D) heart would never (E) break 
 	 But, (F#m) oh the (D) pain that (A) you put (E) me through 
 	 Was (F#m) more than (A) I could (F#m) take 
 	 So take your (D) memory and (E) go 
 	 Cause that was many tears a(A)go 
 
(A) Time goes by and feelings fade 
I still have my lonely days 
When I (D) can't help myself, from feeling (A) blue (D) 
(A) Lord knows I've tried to forget 
Some nights I still lie in bed 
(D) Close my eyes, and all I see is (E) you 
(F#m) But you never felt the (D) way I did 
(F#m) So I tell my(D)self again 
(F#m) Just what to(D)night I'm telling (E) you 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
(F#m) But you never felt the (D) way I did 
(F#m) So I tell my(D)self again 
(F#m) Just what to(D)night I'm telling (E) you 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
Fade out...
