Give me a minute to compose myself, it�s been

All my strife was a fleeting memory

Over and over in my head at night (What went wrong�)

Can�t hide the tears from my eyes now that love�s gone and passed me by�
Verse 2:
G Bm
During my life I somehow steered you wrong
Em C
From the road once again was driving us way
G Em
I pushed aside the things that meant so much
D C
With hope that you�d be happy some day
G Bm
I wear regret now like the lines on my face
Em C
Not a day passes on that you don�t cross my mind (You don�t cross my mind�)
G Em
Couldn�t raise the spirits of a broken heart
D G
And chance the ?

Verse 3:
G Bm
But then one day I gathered up the nerve
Em C
To trip all of those waves I vowed not to cross
G Em
In for this pain that flow deep down inside
D C
That still housed the dreams that all is not lost
G Bm
Upon the threshold I now made my ascent
Em C
towards the door I should close on one careless days
G Em
Without a look, just pass them buzzer and in
D G
That your name, long gone, it faded away
