C
Every once in a while
G
I think about you
Am
And your strawberry hair
F G
The little things we used to do
I even called your old number
But it wasn't the same
Some strangers voice
On the answering machine
Chorus:
Am
But the feelings remain,
G
After all this time
Am
And those old memories won't fade,
G
From the back of my mind
When I hear and old song
Then I'm with you again
In that one room apartment
We had time and we had plans
But plans fall through
And dreams run dry
They just slowly disappear
Like a deardrop from your eye
Chorus
Bridge:
G
I don't know if I love you
F
Only think of you
G C
Once in a while
Instrumental (Verse 2x)
Chorus
Every once in a while
I could see you cry
And I'm saying I'm not
But I can't say why
I hear you got married
And had a beautiful child
And I only think about you
F G C repeat verse pattern and fade
Once in a while
An idea of the picking used:
Verse:
C G Am F G
