        G               Cadd9 
Days go by, they turn into years 
            C                  G 
Time has a way of erasing the tears 
          G             Em     C 
Pictures fade, words disappear 
         G         D             G 
Love comes and goes, but you're still here 
                 G               Cadd9 
The taste of good-bye is still on my lips 
                C                 G 
My heart still longs for your tender kiss 
        G                                       Em     C 
I hear your voice (I hear your voice) whisper my name 
           G     D                 G 
It's been so long, but it still feels the same 

         Em   D    C             G 
Oh, you haunt my heart just like a ghost 
              Em  D  C            D 
No matter how far I run, you stay so close 
            G        Cadd9 
Oh, I still want you, need you 
 G                   C 
Feel you with every breath 
      Em  Am  C  D  G       G 
Baby, how can I forget 
 
 
        G                      Cadd9 
I know your love, I learned it by heart 
     C                       G 
I memorized every sweet, tender part 
            G                         Em    C 
So I can't forget, no matter how hard I try 
             G      D            G 
And I can't remember when we said good-bye 
 
--Chorus 
 
           Em   D    C             G 
You still haunt my heart just like a ghost 
              Em  D  C            D 
No matter how far I run, you stay so close 
            G        Cadd9 
Oh, I still want you, need you 
 G                   C 
Feel you with every breath 
      Em  Am  C  D  G     D 
Baby, how can I forget 
            G        Cadd9 
Oh, I still want you, need you 
 G                   C 
Feel you with every breath 
      Em  Am  C  D  G 
Baby, how can I forget 
      Em  Am  C  D  G        (Play "G" the rest of the way...) 
Baby, how can I forget 
 
No, I can't forget 
Oooh-oh (How can I forget) 
Oh, I try (How can I forget) 
I can't forget (How can I forget) 
I just can't forget     
 
...fade out...
