For me there's CM7only Amyou
Been crying since the Fday
The day you went Amaway
[VERSE]
I remember date and time
September twenty second
Sunday twenty five after nine
In the doorway with your case
No longer shouting at each other
There were tears on our faces
And we were letting go of something special
Something we'll never have again
I know, I guess I really really know
The day you went away
The day you went away
[CHORUS]
Well Chey
So much I CM7need to Amsay
Been lonely since the Fday
The day you went awCay
So sad but Ctrue
For me there's CM7only Amyou
Been crying since the Fday
The day you went Amaway
[BRIDGE]
(Chords like "So sad but true..." X2)
Why do we never know what we've got 'til it's gone
How could I carry on
The day you went away
Cause I've been missing you so much I have to say
Been crying since the day
The day you went away
The Cday you CM7went Amaway
The day you went Eaway 
[OUTRO]
Am G F E
