EmSeven months to the day
CSince I saw your face
EmYou're on the earth like a fire
                  C  D, Dsus4, D  
Holding on to the bitter end
You're holding on to the bAmitter end
I take a walk into town
It's like a dead-end street
The sidewalk sings your name
Underneath my feet
It echoes on
Forgotten love
CBaby where'd you go?
Did you sail aGway over some distant Docean?
CDarlin' what we had 
It cannot be tGaken, it cannot be stDolen
It won't be fAmorgotten
No it won't be fCorgotten
EmSummer disappears 
CLike a dream I had
EmAnd winter comes with a knife
CThat cuts you down
And it nDever ends
Ooh, it Amnever ends
I hurry past the place
You like to drink alone
Seven months to the day
You left me here on the sabbath moon
And now I think of you
CBaby where'd you go?
Did you sail aGway over some distant Docean?
CDarlin' what we had 
It cannot be tGaken, it cannot be brDoken
It won't be fAmorgotten
No it won't be fCorgotten
EmOoh, wChoa-ooh
Em C Em C
D, Dsus4, D, Dsus2, D  
(you can play part 2 intro with this, stop after "the tallest buildings")
EmSeven months to the day
CAnd you don't leave a trace
EmI searched the cracks in the ground
CThe tallest buildings
They nDever knew
Oh, they Amnever knew
CBaby where'd you go?
Did you sail aGway over some distant Docean?
CDarlin' what we had 
It cannot be tGaken, it cannot be stDolen
It won't be fAmorgotten
CBaby where'd you go?
Did you sail aGway over some distant Docean?
CDarlin' what we had 
It cannot be tGaken, it cannot be brDoken
It won't be fAmorgotten
No it won't be fCorgotten

Holding on to the bitter end

I take a walk into town

It's like a dead-end street

The sidewalk sings your name

Underneath my feet

It echoes on

Forgotten love

Baby where'd you go?

Did you sail away over some distant ocean?

Darlin' what we had

G D

It cannot be taken, it cannot be stolen

It won't be forgotten

No it won't be forgotten

Summer disappears

Like a dream I had

And winter comes with a knife

That cuts you down

And it never ends

Ooh, it never ends

I hurry past the place

You like to drink alone

Seven months to the day

You left me here on the sabbath moon

And now I think of you

Baby where'd you go?
