G Bm Here I go again I promised myself C I wouldn't think of you today G Bm It's been seven months and counting You've moved on C I still feel exactly the same It's just that everywhere I go all the buildings know your name Like photographs and memories of love Steel and granite reminders The city calls your name and I can't move on Chorus: C D Ever since you've been gone C The lights go out the same D The only difference is Em You call another name To your love G/B C To your lover now D To your love G Bm C D The lover after me Am I all alone in the universe? There's no love on these streets I have given mine away to a world that didn't want it anyway So this is my new freedom It's funny I don't remember being chained Nothing seems to make sense anymore Without you I'm always twenty minutes late Chorus C D And as time goes by so slowly C The nights are cold and lonely D I shouldn't be holding on C G D But I'm still holding on for you Here I go again I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today But I'm standing at your doorway Calling out your name because I can't move on Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC ![]() D ![]() Em ![]() G ![]() B ![]() Bm ![]() Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
