C
You say that I can be your friend
G7                 C
Forget my love for you
C
You say there's nothing left for me
G7               C
To find somebody new

F
You tell me to forget the things
C
That's in the past and gone
C
You just as well to tell the sun
G7                  C
To rise before it's dawn
              G7          F           C
Cause I can't forget you  oh how I've tried

C
You take a bird and clip its wings
G7                 C
And it will fly no more
C
But you can't make that bird forget
G7                  C
That it once flew before
             G7          F           C
Like I can't forget you  oh how I've tried

C
You're gonna wake some morning
G7                       C
And find your world gone wrong
C
You're gonna wish for the happiness
G7                C
That only we have known

F
You will be crying
C
Tears of regret
C
You're gonna remember the love sweetheart
G7                C
You told me to forget
             G7          F           C
But I didn't forget you  oh how I've tried
