Verse 

D 
Some folks said I was getting' well 
    A                   D 
But through the tears I couldn't tell 
                            G 
I could not see past yester day 
            D                  A     D 
'Cause your memory stood there in my way 

D 
A lonely mind plays funny tricks 
A                    D 
Works on things that can't be fixed 
                                G 
It's bound to dwell on what you miss 
       D                   A       D 
Like a midnight touch or a morning kiss

D          A                               D 
It's still hard to face a day if you ain't in it 
      A 
But I had to draw the line, 
          G                A 
A million tears is a man's limit 
    D 
No, I don't expect your memory 
          D7       G 
To let me ever for get it 
              D                      A 
But once in a while I live through a minute 
              D 
And you ain't in it 

D 
It didn't take a clock to alarm me 
      A              D 
I was always up, I'd never sleep 
                             G 
Scared to death I'd dream of you 
       D 
That's more'n I wanted to 
       A         D 
Put my old heart through 

D 
A big dark cloud followed me around 
       A               D 
Didn't dare look up or I'd have drowned 
                               G 
Thought you took that sun with you 
       D 
But to day my curtain 
             A         D 
Let a little peep slip through
