CAPO: 4th Fret
[INTRO:] C   Cmaj7   G   Cmaj7  C  
[VERSE 1:]
Dreaming of a Cmaj7love I lost, the Cday the final Cmaj7bridge was crossed
SomeFtimes I wish that CI could just forGget
But the G7memory lingers Cyet and it Fhangs around
EmLeaving me low and Fleaving me down G  Am  
EveryFwhere I roam, Amthere is Gnobody homeAm  
Even FI should know, when it Emain't my day, there is Fno other way
[INTERLUDE:] G   C   Cmaj7   G   G7  C  
[VERSE 2:]
I begin to Cmaj7wake up to, how Cwrong it was to Cmaj7cling to you
SomeFtimes I wish to Chold you to my Gheart
'Cause I G7can't keep us aCpart, forFgiving you
Was the Emeasiest thing that I Fever could doG  Am  
EveryFwhere I go, Amthere is Gno one I knowAm  
Even FI can see, it's Emtoo late now to beFlieve in a vow
[INSTRUMENTAL:] G   C   G   C   G   C   F   G   C   F   G  C  
[VERSE 3:]
As I wander, Cmaj7I return, to Cdays gone by, there's Cmaj7much to be learned
SomeFtimes I wish that Cmiracles could Gbe
But at G7best I fail to Csee any Fhappening
EmSome gotta lose and Fsome gotta winG  Am  
EveryFwhere I roam, Amthere is Gnobody homeAm  
Even FI should know when it Emain't my day, there is Fno other wayG  Am  
EveryFwhere I go, Amthere is Gno one I knowAm  
Even FI can see, it's Emtoo late now to beFlieve in a vow
You're Gleaving right nowC
