Am             C             Am       C
Sometimes the hole you left hurts my heart
Am         C                Am      C
So bad it cuts through the deepest parts of me
     Am          C              Am          C
And fills up my mouth with the words that cry
Am        C              Am     C
How I'm still trying to stay inside

Chorus:
Am                C
Hearts break and hands wait
    Am              C
To make us grow fonder
         Am            C
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh
Am                       C
So that we know that it hurts
Am                C
Hearts break and hands wait
    Am              C
To make us grow fonder
         Am            C
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh
Am                       C
So that we know that it hurts

Every now and then my memories ache
With the empty ideas of the ones we'd have made
But as time goes on and my age gets older
I love the ones I know,
they're enough to picture the rest the rest

Chorus

           C      Am       C             Am
You know when to make me imagine you're here
You know when to make me imagine you're here
You know when to make me imagine you're here
You know when to make me imagine you're here
