C G Am F

C G

I pass by your house today

Am F

I guess i went that way for old times sake

C G

There was a light inside your room, Thought i saw you

Am F

Of course i know that cant be true

its been years since i last saw you

And i don't know why

G Am

I m falling to sleep tonight

With you on my mind

C G

This little town was once just for us (sleepless night)

Am F

You and me and empty parking lots (hold me tight)

C G

We were sure this could never die (forever mine)

Am F

But sometimes even photographs can lie

And i don't know why

G Am

I m falling to sleep tonight

With you in my mind

Please tell me why

G Am

I still keep you inside my mind

For the rest of my life
