Intro: Am  G  F  C  G  Am    

C         G/B        Am 
She was a sometimes love 
   C      G/B          Am 
An every-now-and-then touch 
     G     F 
That momentarily                                   
                 G 
Brought out the best in me 
C        G/B        Am 
I didn't think that much of it 
 C               G/B  Am             F 
My  heart  can   easily  love it or leave it  
                      G 
Told myself I didn't need it 
     Am             Em 
And years have gone by 
            F           C 
She's moved on, so have I 
    G 
Or have I? 
      Am         Em 
That part of my life 
             F               C 
That chapter I thought I'd closed 
           Dm7                  C 
I close my eyes, but she's not gone 
           F               C 
Oh, why am I still holding on? 
            Dm7                 G          C 
Sometimes, love hangs around a little too long 
   Gm7                             C7 
I never thought a thing about the things I said to her 
            F7+  Dm 
And her to me 
 Gm7 
Love was just a word 
                                                       
              C7                        F7+ 
And all our promises we never meant to keep 
          Dm 
Or so I thought 
 Gm        Am        Bb 
She was a sometimes love 
                Gm                  C          F   Dm Am7 Bm7 E7 
But sometimes, love hangs around a little too long 
     Am              Em 
And years have gone by 
            F           C 
She's moved on, so have I 
    G 
Or have I? 
      Am         Em 
That part of my life 
             F               C 
That chapter I thought I'd closed 
            Dm                  C 
I close my eyes, but she's not gone 
           F               C 
Oh, why am I still holding on? 
  Dm7      Em        F 
She was a sometimes love 
                Dm                  G          Am  D         
But sometimes, love hangs around a little too long 
            Dm                  G          C   C Am G F  C                                               
Sometimes, love hangs around a little too long
