D    Bm    Em7    A
[Verse 1]
You've been a Dpart of my life for Bmso very long
It's Em7hard for me to believe sometimes that Ayou're really gone
I tuck your Dmemory away in that Bmspecial hiding place
Hoping Em7no one could tell by the Alook on my face
That you're Em7still in my heart, always    F#mon my mind
GPart of my everyDday
[Verse 2]
Like just last night I went Bmout for a bite
I Em7tried to have fun with Aall of my might
But even the Dlaughter, it wasn't Em7much of a Bmbreak
'Cause Em7right in the middle of my Asalad and steak
Bobby Em7Joe walked in with a Dcouple of friends
And said, "GHey have you heard from her at all man like
  DWhere's she been?"
[Chorus]
And itD, struck a nerve
And itBm, hit a vein
You'd think Gfrom all the tears I cried
And this Abroken-hearted pain
I Dwouldn't have to carry you around with me
But it Bmseems like everywhere I Em7go
Somebody Awants to know where you've Gbeen
Are you F#mcoming back again, I Em7swear
AI can't Dtake you anywhere
[Solo]
|    Bm|    Em|    A|
[Verse 3]
So, I Dleft all alone, just Bmheaded back home
As I Em7listened to the messages on Amy teleDphone
There was Done from my sister
And Bmone from an old friend
He said, "I Em7drove by your house tonight dude but
AYou wasn't Bmin
Just checking up Em7on you boy, I hope you're F#mdoing alright
  GOh, by the way man, I Aseen her last Dnight
[Chorus]
And itD, struck a nerve
And itBm, hit a vein
You'd think Gfrom all the tears I cried
And this Abroken-hearted pain
I Dwouldn't have to carry you around with me
But it Bmseems like everywhere I Em7go
Somebody Awants to know where you've Gbeen
Are you F#mcoming back again, I Em7swear
AI can't Dtake you GanywhereD  
[Outro]
I Em7swear, AI can't Dtake you
EJust can't Dtake you-Aou
I can't take you DanywhereBm  Em7  A  
I can't Dtake you anywhereBm  Em7  A
