G
C
Occured to
me the other day
G
Em
You been
gone now a couple of years
C
G
Well I guess
it takes a while
Em
C
For someone
to really disappear
G
C
And I remember
where I was
G
Em
When the
word came about you
C
G
It was a
day much like today
Em
C
The sky was
wide and bright and blue
C
G
And I wonder
where you are
C
D
And if the
pains ends when you die
C
Em
And I wonder
if there was
C
G
Some better
way to say goodbye
G
C
Today my
heart is big and sore
G
Em
Trying to
push right thru my skin
C
G
Won't see
you anymore
Em
C
I guess that's
finally sinking in
G
C
Cause you
can't make somebody see
G
Em
With the
simple words you say
C
G
All the beauty
from within
Em
C
Sometimes
they just look away
C
G
And I wonder
where you are
C
D
And if the
pains ends when you die
C
Em
And I wonder
if there was
C
D
Some better
way to say goodbye
C
D C D C D G
Some better
way to say goodbye
