[Verse 1]
EbHard to believe I won't seBbe you again
We wCmere just fighting when wGm7inter began
AbThe coldness of our words
BbCompeting with the wind from the nortEbhBb  
[Verse 2]
EbStill they make me shiver, but in a veBbry different way
The Cmpages of the calendar kepGm7t turning away
AbI have some better words now
BbBut it's too late to say them to yEbouBb  
[Verse 3]
EbMy dream of all dreams, and my hopBbe of all hopes
Is oCmnly to tell you and make Gm7sure you know
AbHow much I love you and how Bbmuch I alwayEbs didBb  
[Verse 4]
EbAnd yes, I know you loved me
I could seBbe it in your eyes
And Cmit was in your struggle and Gm7it was in your mind
AbAnd it was in the smile you gavBbe me when I was a kiEbdBb  
[Chorus]
EbFeels like no Cmone underBbstands
AnEbd now my onlCmy chancBbe to taAblk to you Bbis
CmThrough Bbmy praAbyers
AbI only wanted to teBbll you I carCmedEb  
[Verse 3]
EbEvery night after and everBby day since
I foCmund myself crying when thGm7e memory hits
AbSometimes it knocks me down
BbSometimes I can just put it awaEbyBb  
EbDown in my mind where I doBbn't care to go
The Cmpain of a lesson is lettiGm7ng me know
AbIf you have love in your heaBbrt
Let it show while you EbcanBb  
[Chorus]
EbFeels like no Cmone underBbstands
AnEbd now my onlCmy chancBbe to taAblk to you Bbis
CmThrough Bbmy praAbyers
