How do I stop loving you
Intro:    Em     Am7/E     B/E  Em  
I'm trying so hard to forAm7get you. D7  
And leave the life we had behGmaj7ind. Cmaj7  
And there are times I feel the F#/A#day has come, 
I've chB7ased you from my mEmind. Emmaj7  Em7  
But I'm afraid E7/G#there's always sAm7omething, D7  
That sets me back and makes me Gmaj7see. Cmaj7  
You're more than just a memory F#/A#in the past, 
You're stB7ill a part of Emme.
(Chorus:)
So how do I sAm7top loving you? D7b9  
Forget things that Gmaj7we used to Gmaj7/F#do? Em  
ForgEm/Det all the drAeams that we shared? B  
And how my life was kEmnowing you cared? 
Why do E7/G#I end Am7up where I start,  C/Eeach D7/Ctime I Gmaj7try? Cmaj7  
Just tell me how Am7I can forget, B7  
So I can say goodbEmye... Am7/E  B/E  Em  
I'm tired of all the lonely evAm7enings, D7  
And all the many times I've cGmaj7ried. Cmaj7  
I'm tired of wondering what I mF#/A#ight have done
to kB7eep you by my sEmide. Emmaj7  Em7  
And reaching E7/G#out across your Am7pillow, D7  
I start remembering you're Gmaj7gone. Cmaj7  
And though I know that we can nF#/A#ever be, 
The pB7ain in me goes Emon.
(Chorus repeat)
Please tell me why... 
I find it so hard to forget. 
And hard to say... Goodbye. 
Goodbye...
