[Verse 1]
You wore that Fwhite sundCress, smoked a Gclove cigarAmette
FDanced bareCfoot and your Ghair was a Ammess
You drove a FJeep CheroCkee but no Gmoney for Amgas
Coulda looked at you Fall day Clong, all Gday longAm  
You tried to downFplay your Cbeauty but you Gcouldn't fool Amme
You tried to Fplay like you're Ctough but you Ggrew up by the Ambeach
Said you Fhated the Cworld but someGhow you liked Amme
Coulda looked at you Fall night Clong, all Gnight longAm  
                              F           C            GN.C.
Coulda looked at you all night long, all night long
[Chorus]
How can I forFget yoCu in the Gmorning?
FHow can I forCget youG?
I was Amdreaming you were Fstanding there wearing my Ct-shirt
GWishing that you could still Ambe here
FHow can I forCget? I Gcan't, I Amcan't
FHow can I forCget? I Gcan't, I Amcan't
[Verse 2]
FRan ten blocks in the Crain, girl
GTrain ain't running this Amlate, girl
FYou the only one to Cdo me like that
GWhy you biting on your Amlip like that? (Don't Fstop)
Falling Cthrough that doorway, Gstopping this ain't Amno way
(Okay, Fsmoke break)
I shut Cmy eyes for a second you were Ggone, gone, Amgone
                                    F           C           GN.C.
Now I'm thinking 'bout you all night long, all night long
[Chorus]
How can I foFrget yoCu in the Gmorning?
FHow can I forCget yoGu?
I was dAmreaming you were Fstanding there wearing my Ct-shirt
GWishing that you could still Ambe here
FHow can I forCget? I Gcan't, I Amcan't
FHow can I forCget? I Gcan't, I Amcan't
[Bridge]
You wore that Fwhite sunCdress, smoked a cGlove cAmigarette
FDanced bareCfoot and your Ghair was a Ammess
Let you Fslip through my Cfingers but you're Gstuck in my Amhead
                                     F           C         GN.C.
And I'll be thinking 'bout you for so long, for so long
[Chorus]
How can I forFget yoCu in the Gmorning?
FHow can I forCget yoGu?
I was Amdreaming you were Fstanding there wearing my Ct-shirt
GWishing that you could still be Amhere
FHow can I forCget? I Gcan't, I Amcan't
FHow can I foCrget? I Gcan't, I Amcan't
I was Amdreaming you were Fstanding there wearing my Ct-shirt
WGishing that you could still be Amhere
FHow can I forCget? I Gcan't, I Amcan't
FHow can I forCget? I Gcan't, I Amcan't
FHow can I forCget?
