These Reminders

(início)

Intro:  G   Bm  Am  C  G
G                                       Bm
I am reaching for the mantel where your picture and a candle stand,
Am            C     G
Too harsh a reminder to let stay.
G         Bm
So I find a drawer that?deep and safe and I turn around
   Am                     C     G
and I walk away, surprised that I have found the strength at last.
G                              Bm
Every time the phone will ring I cannot seem to help but think that
Am          C       G
maybe it is you there on the line.
G                                           Bm
But I know it?not and I must agree it was all just too hard for
  Am                  C                   G
you and me, so the ringing goes unanswered every time.
Chorus:
D         C              G
Oh, I am left with these reminders
D         C              G
Oh, will this hurtin?ver mend?
D          C                         G
Oh, it hurts to turn around and find you gone
    Am           C       G
And me, here all alone again.
G                                          Bm
That old man down at the coffee shop still asks me every time I stop
Am            C    G
by the way, how?the nice lady been?
G                                      Bm
I just say you? doing fine, and I hope I?right ?ause I hate
           Am                 C                     G
lying, and truth be known I?wishing you all the best.
G                                            Bm
But every black car at every red light still takes my breath cause
 Am        C
I know it might be you, and that?just something
                    G
I cannot deal with yet.
G                                         Bm
So I stick to roads that I know you would never have the cause to go
  Am            C          G
And so far I? only broke down twice, that?right.
Chorus
G                                      Bm
It all comes down to just one thought, we thought we were but
                    Am                C              G
I guess we? not, and now we? got reminders all around.
G                                     Bm
You? got yours and I? got mine and someday we? turn around and
              Am           C                      G
Find that somewhere in the middle the truth was lying.
D                 C            G
And oh, we? be free of these reminders.
D                 C            G
Oh, man, this old hurt will finally mend
D                 C          G
Oh, it won?hurt to turn and find you gone
    Am           C       G
And me, here all alone again.
