VERSE ONE

   C                        D
I look..at your picture,.too often
   G                          C    G
It helps..keep your mem'ry..a-live 
          C                      D
It's not healthy..they say..To re-live..yesterday
        G           G7         C    C7
But for me..It's  a way..to sur-vive 


CHORUS

       F                G        C          F
I must cling..to what's gone..If I'm..to go on
  C               G            C     
I can't..face the future,.I've tried  
    C                                     D
Per-haps for the rest..Looking back..isn't best
        G          G7         C
But for me..It's a way..to sur-vive

When my heart aches..I read..all your letters

And the words..make our love..seem alive

But for me..It's a way..to sur-vive
