On a cool grey morning, I watched with my own eyes
C D C
As he headed out the driveway and finally out of my life
G C G Bm C
Oh, I knew he'd soon be miles from my mind
Em C D G
So why should tears start falling after all this time
Em Bm
How can a memory last this long
C G
Will he ever go away
Em Bm
Even the stars burn out and fall
C Am
Will he ever go away
G C G Am
How can someone who left so long ago
G C
Still be here with me today
D G
Will he ever go away 
Instrumental: G Em Bm C G Em Bm C G

Shouldn't I start living my life for myself
D C
Shouldn't it be easy to fall in love with someone else

Oh, why should it be his touch I feel in the dark
Em C D G
And will his voice always echo through my heart
Em Bm
How can a memory last this long
C G
Will he ever go away

Even the stars burn out and fall

Will he ever go away

How can someone who left so long ago

Still be here with me today

Will he ever go away
