[Intro]
D Am G D
[Verse 1]
Di fell in love with you Ammonths and months ago when Gyou first said hello to Dme
we Dlay together in bed i'd Amshare the thoughts that were in my head and Gyou would smile and hold Dme
Di cannot count the times i'd Amgo to Dollop with you in mind Ghoping to see you Dthere
Dbut we knew it couldn't last Amnow you're a part of my past, when i Gsaw you again you'd cut your Dhair
[Verse 2]
Dyou're my Amdarling girl, you Gmean the world to Dme
Di learned so Ammuch from your Gtouch and philosoDphy
[Chorus]
Ambut i cannot Clie and say you didn't make me Gcry nearly every Dnight
Amit's tempting to Cromanticize the time spent in your Gsmile when i felt Dalright
[Verse 3]
Dbut i think the anguish has Ampassed, this friendship can Glast, i have Dfaith
Di'll try not to fall Amagain, i hope we can be Gfriends cause no one can take your Dplace
[Bridge]
Dyou met my Amsoul back in ChicGagoD  
Di lost conAmtrol but I'm trying to get it Gback now that i'm Dhome
[Verse 4]
Dbut I have to say goodAmbye to the idea of us interGtwined, good Dnight
Dyou'll always have a piece of my Amheart, thank you foGr a lovely stDart
Dwe have a complex situAmation, but goodGnight with love and veneraDtion
