[Chorus]
GI don’t miss songs I’ve never sung
Or bAooks I’ve never rDead
I don’t mourn aGll I’ve left undone
Or the paAths I’ll never tDread
But I belBmieve though I caF#mnnot prove it tGrue
GI would feel the absAence of yoDu
[Verse]
If we’d never mGet or saAid heBmllo
Would a part of me Ghave alAways Bmknown?
I susGpect your name is writAten in the maBmrrow of my Cadd9bones
After other lips had kiGssed me
Would I notice something mGmaj9issing?
[Chorus]
GI don’t miss songs I’ve never sung
Or bAooks I’ve never rDead
I don’t mourn aGll I’ve left undone
Or the paAths I’ll never trDead
But I belBmieve though I caF#mnnot prove it tGrue
GI would feel the absAence of yoDu
[Verse]
In another lGife, where there wAas no you and Bmme
And we had settled dGown with otAhers Bmhappily
What if onGe day on the sAtreet our eyes meet BmaccidenCadd9tally?
Would it hit me like a Gfreight train?
A sudden ache that I could Gmaj9not explain
[Chorus]
GI don’t miss songs I’ve never sung
Or bAooks I’ve never rDead
I don’t mourn aGll I’ve left undone
Or the paAths I’ll never trDead
But I belBmieve though I caF#mnnot prove it tGrue
GI would feel the absAence of yoDu

My life was meant to have you in it
[Chorus]
GI don’t miss songs I’ve never sung
Or bAooks I’ve never rDead
I don’t mourn aGll I’ve left undone
Or the paAths I’ll never trDead
But I belBmieve though I caF#mnnot prove it tGrue
GI would feel the absAence of yoBmu
GI would feel the absAence of yoDu

G A D

I would feel the absence of you

[Verse]

G A Bm

If we’d never met or said hello

Would a part of me have always known?

I suspect your name is written in the marrow of my bones

After other lips had kissed me

Would I notice something missing?

G A Bm

In another life, where there was no you and me

G A Bm

And we had settled down with others happily

What if one day on the street our eyes meet accidentally?

Would it hit me like a freight train?

Gmaj9

A sudden ache that I could not explain
