Intro:
Am              G              F
(Hold onto love tightly, honey, it may never come back)
Am              G              F
(Baby, you were so right for me, donʼt you ever ask that)
Am              G              F
(Hold onto love tightly, honey, it may never come back)
Am              G              F

Verse:
    Am                              G
Her heart was still bereft and all, sick and tired of steppinʼ on
F
Shine, my darling, never leave the light
  Am                         G
I hate to see you skeptical, hugs that never helped at all
F
Things that Iʼve accepted in this life
Am                     G
Loss was unacceptable, wish we coulda kept it all
     F
Iʼve learned in love and death we donʼt decide
   Am                             G
So sing until it fills the halls, sing until the curtain falls
F
Jealous of the ocean ʼtil those eyes

Chorus:
         Am                   G
Itʼs not easy to forget how I loved you
      F
But I really donʼt want anybody else
         Am                    G
Iʼd give anything to see those eyes
  F
I wonʼt forget the lesson that I learned that night
          Am                  G
Itʼs not easy to forget how I loved you
      F
But I really donʼt want anybody else
          Am                   G
Iʼd give anything to see those eyes
  F
I wonʼt forget the lesson that I learned that night

Verse:
          Am                     G
There was never gonna be a right time
            F
So I should leave before I lose the sunlight
  Am                             G
I cannot keep your spirit pinned down
          F
If it was working, wouldʼve known it by now
      Am                              G
But I hope your life is beautiful, a story like a musical
F
 Standing ovation every night
Am                                      G
Just never let them kill your soul, Iʼm never gonna let you fall
   F
My promises get stronger over time

Chorus:
         Am                   G
Itʼs not easy to forget how I loved you
      F
But I really donʼt want anybody else
         Am                    G
Iʼd give anything to see those eyes
  F
I wonʼt forget the lesson that I learned that night
          Am                  G
Itʼs not easy to forget how I loved you
      F
But I really donʼt want anybody else
          Am                   G
Iʼd give anything to see those eyes
  F
I wonʼt forget the lesson that I learned that night
