Intro
Dm Dm7 C Dm C

Verse 1
DmI Still Leave The Hallway Light On
Though There's No OCne CFoming Home
Some Nights I HCear The Old Floor Creaking
And Forget TDmhat I'm Alone

Verse 2
Your Coffee CA#up Is In The Cupboard
Where I Left It YFears Ago
Funny How The SmCallest Things
Are The Hardest Things To Let DmGo

Verse 3
I Thought The YA#ears Would Teach Me Gm7​
How To Carry FOn Somehow
But Time Can ChCange A Thousand Things
It Hasn't ChA#anged You Now

Chorus
I've Known Other HFands,
I've Walked Other RCoads
I've Watched The DmSeasons Come And A#Go
I Told MFyself That I Was Finally FCree
That The PDmast Was Where It Ought To A#Be
But SomewhFere Underneath These YCears
Your DmMemory Still Lives A#Here
Now I KFnow What I Could Never PCrove
No One EA#ver Came CClose To YFou
Nothing CoCuld RepDmlace You  A#   Nothing Ever WFillC​
I've Spent A Gm7Lifetime MCoving A#On
And Somehow LCove Stood SFtill

Verse 4
I ReDmmember Sunday Mornings
Rain Against TFhe Window Glass
You Would HCum Beside The Fire
While The Whole World WDmandered Past

Verse 5
There Was Nothing ExtA#raordinary
In The Way You SFaid My Name
But I Would Give ThCis Life I've Lived
To Hear It Just Once ADmgain

Verse 6
The PhotogrA#aph Is Fading
But Your Eyes Are SFtill The Same
And Every RCoad I Travelled
Somehow Led Me BDmack Again

Verse 7
CI Used To Call It WA#eakness
To Remember What FWas Gone
Now I Think Perhaps SCome Memories
Are Simply Meant To Carry A#On

Chorus
I've Known Other FHands,
I've Walked Other RoCads
I've Seen The CDmities No One KnA#ows
I Built A LFife And Learned To SCmile
I Thought I'd Buried You ADmfter All This WA#hile
But When TFhe Evening Settles CDown
And Silence FDmills This Empty HA#ouse
There Is One TFruth I Can't UCndo
No One EA#ver ReplCaced YFou
CNothing Could Replace YDmou A#​
Nothing Ever WFill C​
I've Spent A Gm7Lifetime CMoving A#On
And SomeGm7how LCove Stood SFtill

Verse 8
FMy Hair Has Turned To Silver
The DmYears Have Left Their Mark
I've LA#earned That Growing Older
Doesn't MFake The Distance Dark

Verse 9
CI've ForgiFven What I Couldn't C​
I've AccDmepted What I Lost
Some ThA#ings Are Not Forgotten
No Matter What They CCost

Verse 10
I Don't Need You To ReFturn Now
I Don't NCeed Another ChDmance
I Finally Stopped PA#retending
That ECvery Love Can Be RepFlaced

Bridge
Maybe LoCve Was Never MDmeant
To Disappear CompleteA#ly
Maybe Some HeFarts Leave A Mark
That TCime Cannot DefDmeat
And If I Could Go Back TA#here
I Wouldn't AFsk You To SC7tay
I'd Only TGm7ell You What I CoA#uldn't
When You WCalked AwC7ay
You Were The One I Didn't KGmnow
Gm7I Would Spend My Life RememCbering

Chorus
I've Known Other HFands
I've Walked Other RoCads
I've Watched This ODmld World Change And GrA#ow
And I Don't RegFret The Life I've LivC7ed
Or All The ThA#ings The Years Have GCiven
But Standing HFere Beneath This Morning CSky
I Finally UDmnderstand Why A#​
Some LoFves Don't Need Another DCay
To Prove They A#Never WCent Away F​
NotChing Could RepDmlace You
And I Don't Need It TA#o
I Finally Made My PFeace With That  C​
And I Can Say It NFow

Outro
IF Loved You I Lost You
I CCarried You This DmFar
And AA#fter All These YearCs
I Know Exactly What You FAre  C​
The One LA#ove No OCne Could ReplFace
The House Is Quiet Now The Morning LDmight Is New
I Close The DA#oor Behind Me C   And I Don't Look FBack
CNothing Could Replace YFou
