Intro: G Bm Am C G
G Bm
I am reaching for the mantel where your picture and a candle stand,
Am C G
Too harsh a reminder to let stay.
G Bm
So I find a drawer that�s deep and safe and I turn around
Am C G
and I walk away, surprised that I have found the strength at last.
G Bm
Every time the phone will ring I cannot seem to help but think that
Am C G
maybe it is you there on the line.
G Bm
But I know it�s not and I must agree it was all just too hard for
Am C G
you and me, so the ringing goes unanswered every time.
Chorus:
D C G
Oh, I am left with these reminders
D C G
Oh, will this hurtin� ever mend?
D C G
Oh, it hurts to turn around and find you gone
Am C G
And me, here all alone again.
G Bm
That old man down at the coffee shop still asks me every time I stop
Am C G
by the way, how�s the nice lady been?
G Bm
I just say you�re doing fine, and I hope I�m right �cause I hate
Am C G
lying, and truth be known I�m wishing you all the best.
G Bm
But every black car at every red light still takes my breath cause
Am C
I know it might be you, and that�s just something
G
I cannot deal with yet.
G Bm
So I stick to roads that I know you would never have the cause to go
Am C G
And so far I�ve only broke down twice, that�s right.
Chorus
G Bm
It all comes down to just one thought, we thought we were but
Am C G
I guess we�re not, and now we�ve got reminders all around.
G Bm
You�ve got yours and I�ve got mine and someday we�ll turn around and
Am C G
Find that somewhere in the middle the truth was lying.
D C G
And oh, we�ll be free of these reminders.
D C G
Oh, man, this old hurt will finally mend
D C G
Oh, it won�t hurt to turn and find you gone
Am C G
And me, here all alone again.
Solo
