[Verse 1]

C G Am Em

David's on piano, and I may play on a drum

Dm C Dm G

And we'll try to make the music work, we'll try to have some fun

C G Am Em

But I just can't help thinking that if you were here with me

Dm C Dm G

I'd get all my thoughts in focus and play more excitingly

[Chorus]

C Bb F

I love you still - Caroline

C Bb F

I want you still - Caroline

C Bb F

I need you still - Caroline

[Verse 2]

C G Am Em

If you call this sentimental crap you'll make me mad

Dm C Dm G

Cause you know that I would not sing about some passing fad

C G Am Em

And if my attempts at rhyming aren't convincing to your ear

Dm C Dm G

Then memories betray you through the passing of the year

[Chorus]

C Bb F

I love you still - Caroline

C Bb F

I want you still - Caroline

C Bb F

I need you still - Caroline

[Verse 3]

C G Am Em

You must think it doubtful that I mean the words I sing

Dm C Dm G

Or that all attempts to reach you this way could not mean a thing

C G Am Em

But you must admit we both thought we'd be man and wife

Dm C Dm G

And that I could make you happy for the best part of your life

[Chorus]

C Bb F

I love you still - Caroline

C Bb F

I love you still - Caroline

C Bb F

I love you still - Caroline
