D Bm Baby, I found a new piece of you D Bm Buried inside me this afternoon G A D Next to the memories I should've put in a box Baby, there must be a piece of me Still can't believe that we're history I called you my girlfriend again, and I know I should stop Em A But I can't face the truth Chorus: G D Don't you know I can't let you go Bm A So I just pretend like you're still coming home? G D I left on the light and unlocked the door Bm A 'Cause I miss the sound of your steps on the floor Em G I know that you're gone and everything's changed D A/C# Bm So, why do I love you exactly the same? G Gm It doesn't make sense, us in the past tense Baby, I think there's a part of me That wishes I could take back everything Go back in time and erase the first night that we met But I can't face the truth Chorus: Don't you know I can't let you go So I just pretend like you're still coming home?
