Verse 2
C 
And your bookcase still hold
G 
C 
s all your books
It's as if all you've done is
G 
C 
go out of town
You'll be back soon,
D 
Am 
that's just how it looks
But your suitcase is empty,
G 
Am 
it's right here in the hall
That's not even the
G 
Am 
strangest thing
G 
Why would you leave your
C 
wallet behind
Your glasses,
D 
Am 
C 
your wristwatch and ring
Your glasses,
D 
your wristwatch and ring

Verse 3
G 
C 
Sometimes I forget that
D 
you've gone
That we'll never see you
G 
D 
G 
again
I think for a moment,
C 
D 
I've got to give him a all
G 
C 
But I can't now I realize that
No we can't meet for lunch
G 
C 
at the usual place
G 
C 
The place where we always would go
And there was something I wanted
G 
C 
to tell you so bad
D 
Something I knew that you'd want to know
Am 
G 
I could go by myself
Am 
to our old haunt
G 
That seems like such a strange
Am 
thing to do
The waiters would wonder
G 
C 
what was going on
D 
Why weren't you there,
Am 
C 
where were you
D 
Why weren't you there,
G 
where were you

Verse 4
G 
C 
D 
Sometimes I forget that you've gone
G 
D 
G 
I remember and I feel the ache
How could it have happened,
C 
D 
how could it be
It's not true, there must be some
G 
C 
mistake
G 
Momentos, memories,
C 
tell me what good are they
No they're not much to have
G 
C 
and to hold
And it's true that you're gone,
G 
C 
And you're not coming back
D 
And this world seems so empty
Am 
and cold
G 
But sometimes things happen,
Am 
It doesn't seem strange
G 
You're not far away,
Am 
you're near
G 
Sometimes I forget that
C 
you've gone
D 
Sometimes it feels like
Am 
C 
you're right here
D 
Right now it feels like you're right here
G
