  			C 
You say that I can be your friend 
  
G7                 C 
Forget my love for you 

C 
You say there's nothing left for me 

G7               C 
To find somebody new 


F 
You tell me to forget the things 

C 
That's in the past and gone 

C 
You just as well to tell the sun 

G7                  C 
To rise before it's dawn 

              G7          F           C 
Cause I can't forget you  oh how I've tried 


C 
You take a bird and clip its wings 

G7                 C 
And it will fly no more 

C 
But you can't make that bird forget 

G7                  C 
That it once flew before 

             G7          F           C 
Like I can't forget you  oh how I've tried 


C 
You're gonna wake some morning 

G7                       C 
And find your world gone wrong 

C 
You're gonna wish for the happiness 

G7                C 
That only we have known 


F 
You will be crying 
  
C 
Tears of regret 

C 
You're gonna remember the love sweetheart 

G7                C 
You told me to forget 

             G7          F           C 
But I didn't forget you  oh how I've tried
