Intro:  A  B  E 
 
  E                         F#7 
I lie here tonight in the darkness 
  B                E 
I've never felt so alone 
  E                          F#7 
Tomorrow I'll wake up still lonesome 
     B                                    E      B 
Cause things haven't changed since youve gone 
  E                              F#7 
You walked out with angry words spoken 
    B                          E 
Your leaving cut right to the bone 
  E                               F#7 
I'll pick up the pieces you left broken 
  B                    E 
Find the strength to go on 

  C#m        F#7         B            E  
I still remember when my arms once held her 
  A             B         E 
How long do old memories last 
  C#m          F#7 
Why can't I forget it 
 B          E 
Why can't I admit it 
  A             B            E 
There ain't no future in the past
