Intro: F  Am  G  C  G
      (F  C  G)(2x)

F         Am      G         C
I've been gone for so long now
F             C              G
Chasing everything thats new
F          Am      G         C
I've forgotten how I got here
F             C           G
I have not forgotten you
F           Am      G                C
We were just children but our eyes opened and
F             C              G
You were all that i could see
F             Am     G                C
You came close enough to know my heart beat but
F             C               G
Still not close enough for me

F                             C
Through the good times and the bad
               G          Am    G
You were the best I never had
F               C                G
The only chance I wish I had to take
F                           C
But there was no writing on the wall
           G           Am     G
No warning signs to follow
F               C                     G
I know now and I just can't forget, Youre the best I never had

In this motel

When Im bluer than a bruise
F             Am       G                C
You come drifting in through the half light
F            C             G
In your funny yellow shoes
F            Am         G                 C
And I hope thats you standing at my doorway
F            C              G
Thats the scratching of your key
F            Am        G                   C
And I hope this song Im singing, someday finds you
F      C      G

You were the best I never had
