Fm7                Fm6  Fm
I read all the letters,
 
Fm7              Fm6   Fm         Ebmaj9 
I read each word that you've sent to me
 
Eb              Cm7
And though it's past now,
 
         Ab             Gm7 
and your words start to fade
 
       Ab                             Gm7
All the memories I have start, still remain
 
Fm7                  Fm6   Fm
I've kept all the pictures,
 
Fm7               Fm6  Fm  Ebmaj9      Eb 
but I hide my feelings so no-one knows
 
Ebmaj9 Eb  
 
Fm7               Fm6  Fm   Fm7
Oh sure my friends all come round,
 
             Fm6  Fm    Ebmaj9 
but I'm in a crowd on my own
 
Eb               Cm7
It's 'cos you're gone now,
 
Abmaj7                Gm7  
but your heart, still remains
 
          Abmaj7              Gm7
And it'll be here if you come again
 
You see, I'd heard the rumours, 
I knew before you let me know
But I didn't believe it, not you,
No you would not let me go
Seems I was wrong, 
but I love, I love you the same
And that's the one thing 
that you can't take away 
 
Gm7      Abmaj7
but just remember   
 
Gm7   Abmaj7   Gm
 
Abmaj7            Gm7
If leaving me is easy,
 
         Abmaj7             Gm7
Then you know coming back is harder
