[Verse 1]
Am G
Her heart was still bereft and all, sick and tired of steppin' 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 I've accepted in this life
Am G
Loss was unacceptable, wish we coulda kept it all
F
I'v? learned in love and death we don't decide
Am G
So sing until it fills the halls, sing until the curtain falls
F
Jealous of the ocean 'til those eyes
[Chorus]
Am G
It's not easy to forget how I loved you
F
But I really don't want anybody else
Am G
I'd give anything to see those eyes
F
I won't forget the lesson that I learned that night
Am G
It's not easy to forget how I loved you
F
But I really don't want anybody else
Am G
I'd give anything to see those eyes
F
I won't forget the lesson that I learned that night
[Post-Chorus]
Am G F
(Hold onto love tightly, honey, it may never come back)
Am G F
(Baby, you were so right for me, don't you ever ask that)
Am G F
(Hold onto love tightly, honey, it may never come back)
Am G F
(Baby, you were so right for me, don't you ever ask that)
[Verse 2]
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, would've 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, I'm never gonna let you fall
F
My promises get stronger over time
[Chorus]
Am G
It's not easy to forget how I loved you
F
But I really don't want anybody else
Am G
I'd give anything to see those eyes
F
I won't forget the lesson that I learned that night
Am G
It's not easy to forget how I loved you
F
But I really don't want anybody else
Am G
I'd give anything to see those eyes
F
I won't forget the lesson that I learned that night
[Post-Chorus]
Am G F
(Hold onto love tightly, honey, it may never come back)
Am G F
(Baby, you were so right for me, don't you ever ask that)
Am G F
(Hold onto love tightly, honey, it may never come back)
Am G F
(Baby, you were so right for me, don't you ever ask that)

Am G F
(Easy to forget how I loved you, easier than anything else)
Am G F
(Easy to forget how I loved you, easier than anything else)
