verse 1 
C#m                             A           E Bsus2 
He thought he'd moved on, left it all behind 
C#m                      A             E Bsus2 
The memories of her, fading in his mind 
C#m                        A                    E Bsus2 
He walked through the days with a lighter heart 
C#m                   A              E   Bsus2 
Believing he'd made a brand new start 

verse 2 
A 
But life has a way of playing tricks 
Bsus2                         G#m 
Bringing back the past with a sudden fix 
C#m                         B 
He never thought he'd see her face again 
F#                               G#m 
Now he's standing here, feeling all the pain 

Chorus 
A 
Oh, he thought he was over her 
C#m                          Bsus2 
But the wound's still there, it starts to stir 
      C#m            A 
In the crowd, he saw her smile 
E                           Bsus2 
And it took him back to that lonely mile 
A 
He thought he was free, but now he knows 
C#m                 Bsus2 
The heart remembers what the mind outgrows

verse 3 
C#m                                    A     E Bsus2 
Months had passed since they said goodbye 
C#m                  A                E Bsus2 
He'd learned to laugh and no longer cry 
C#m                     A             E Bsus2 
But seeing her now, it all comes back 
C#m                   A                 E Bsus2 
The love they shared and what they lack 

verse 4 
A 
Her laughter echoes in his ears 
Bsus2                         G#m 
Rekindling forgotten fears 
C#m                         B 
He thought he'd healed from that old scar 
F#                               G#m 
But here she is, and it's not so far

In the crowd, he saw her smile

And it took him back to that lonely mile

He thought he was free, but now he knows

The heart remembers what the mind outgrows 

Interlude 
A                   Bsus2 
Time can mend but never erase 
C#m                  G#m 
The love they had in a sacred space 
 A                     Bsus2 
He's torn between moving on and holding tight 
E                              G#m 
Caught in the shadows of that fateful night

So he'll walk away with a heavy heart

Knowing healing is just a part 
C#m                     A                      E Bsus2 
He'll carry the memories as he goes on his way

Hoping tomorrow brings a brighter day
