C                          D7 
I look at your picture too often 
  
   G7                      C    G7 
It helps keep your memory alive 

         C                     D7 
It's not healthy they say to relive yesterday 
  
        G7                  C 
But for me it's a way to survive 

  
       F               G7   C            F 
I must cling to what's gone if I'm to go on 
  
  C              G7          C    G7 
I can't face the future I've tried 

   C                         D7 
Perhaps for the rest looking back isn't best 
  
        G7                  C 
But for me it's a way to survive 

  
C                                    D7 
When my heart aches I read all your letters 
  
    G7                            C    G7 
And the words make our love seem alive 

     C                     D7 
They say I can't last if I live in the past 
  
        G7                  C 
But for me it's a way to survive 

  
       F               G7   C            F 
I must cling to what's gone if I'm to go on 
  
  C              G7          C    G7 
I can't face the future I've tried 

   C                         D7 
Perhaps for the rest looking back isn't best 
  
        G7                  C 
But for me it's a way to survive 

  
        G7                  C 
But for me it's a way to survive
