C                  F                C
I've been up, and down and out, and I have been around,
    G                                         C
And I've felt good more times than I've felt bad.
 C               F               C
Lovin' you felt better than I've ever known before,
 G                                     C
Losin' you's the worst pain that I've had.

Chorus:
                  G                            C
But it comes and goes, it's like a blue wind blows,
                 G                         C
Yes it goes and comes, but now I'm livin' some.
              F
And today my high didn't get any lower,
        C
and my low didn't fall anymore,
         G                                  C
But sometimes when I drop my guard everybody knows.
       F
Cos I can't control the feeling,
          C
And there ain't much sign of healin'.
      G                                 C G
Cos when the pain is there, it always shows,
                  C
But it comes and goes.

In my mind I'm holding you and loving you again,
I hear you laugh and I feel you cling to me.
Although it's over I'm still holding on a little bit,
And there's a lot of pain in the memory.

Chorus
