Fm7
I read all the lett - ers,
                              D#
I read each word that you've sent to me,
                 Cm7
And, though it's past now,
         G#maj7          Gm7
And your words start to fade,
        G#maj7                  Gm7
All the memories I have still remain

I've kept all the pictures
But I hide my feelings so no-one knows
Oh, sure, my friends all come round
But I'm in a crowd on my own
It's 'cause you're gone now
But your heart
Heart still remains
And it'll be here if you come again

You see, I'd heard the rumours
I knew before you let me know
But I didn't believe it, not you
No, you would not let me go
Seems I was wrong, but I love
I love you the same
And that's the one thing that you can't take away
Just remember

G#maj7           Gm7
If leaving me is easy,
          G#maj7                Gm7
Then, you know, coming back is harder
 G#maj7               Gm7
Hoh, if leaving me is easy,
          G#maj7               Gm7  G#maj7
Then, you know, coming back is harder!

If leaving me is easy
And you know coming back is harder
If leaving me is easy
And you know coming back is harder
If leaving me is easy
And you know coming back is harder
If leaving me is easy
And you know coming back is harder
If leaving me is easy
And you know coming back is harder
