Just play around with suspended chords at the end of each line (e.g. Dsus4, Asus4) 

(G)                    D 
How do you pack up a memory 
          G            D 
You can't put it in a sack 
       G            D 
Those sweet times shared 
                    A 
You can't send them back 
                  D 
Still through the dark 
                   F#   
They refuse not to glow 
G                  D 
    I'm having to face it, 
D     A            D 
Those bygones wont go 
  

G                            D 
    How does a heart go on breaking 
G           D 
After its broke 
           D 
There's no joy in mine now 
                  A 
Only night like a cloak 
                 D 
I wish I was the wind 
                  F# 
With somewhere to blow 
G                  D 
    I'm having to face it, 
  G              D 
I can't find a place where 
      A            D 
Those bygones wont go 

G 
         I sang the songs of the poet 
             F#m 
That describe the way the way I feel 
     G 
But they were only make believe 
         D        A 
This ones all too real 
                    

                         D 
How does a heart go on breaking 
       F# 
I don't know 
G                D        G  
   I'm having to face it, 
D         A             D 
    Those bygones won't go 
G                       D 
    Those bygones won't go, 
G                       D 
    Those bygones won't go, 
G                           D 
    Those bygones won't go
