Verse 1
GmI Still Leave The Hallway Light On
Though There's No OFne CBboming Home
Some Nights I HFear The Old Floor Creaking
And Forget TGmhat I'm Alone

Verse 2
Your Coffee CEbup Is In The Cupboard
Where I Left It YBbears Ago
Funny How The SmFallest Things
Are The Hardest Things To Let GmGo

Verse 3
I Thought The YEbears Would Teach Me Cm7​
How To Carry BbOn Somehow
But Time Can ChFange A Thousand Things
It Hasn't ChEbanged You Now

Chorus
I've Known Other HBbands,
I've Walked Other RFoads
I've Watched The GmSeasons Come And EbGo
I Told MBbyself That I Was Finally FrFee
That The PGmast Was Where It Ought To EbBe
But SomewhBbere Underneath These YeFars
Your GmMemory Still Lives EbHere
Now I KBbnow What I Could Never PrFove
No One EEbver Came CFlose To YBbou
Nothing CoFuld RepGmlace You  Eb   Nothing Ever WBbill F​
I've Spent A Cm7Lifetime MFoving EbOn
And Somehow LFove Stood SBbtill

Verse 4
I ReGmmember Sunday Mornings
Rain Against TBbhe Window Glass
You Would HFum Beside The Fire
While The Whole World WGmandered Past

Verse 5
There Was Nothing ExtEbraordinary
In The Way You SBbaid My Name
But I Would Give ThFis Life I've Lived
To Hear It Just Once AGmgain

Verse 6
The PhotogrEbaph Is Fading
But Your Eyes Are SBbtill The Same
And Every RFoad I Travelled
Somehow Led Me BGmack Again

Verse 7
FI Used To Call It WEbeakness
To Remember What BbWas Gone
Now I Think Perhaps SFome Memories
Are Simply Meant To Carry EbOn

Chorus
I've Known Other BbHands,
I've Walked Other RoFads
I've Seen The CGmities No One KnEbows
I Built A LBbife And Learned To SmFile
I Thought I'd Buried You AGmfter All This WEbhile
But When TBbhe Evening Settles DFown
And Silence FGmills This Empty HEbouse
There Is One TBbruth I Can't UnFdo
No One EEbver ReplFaced YBbou
FNothing Could Replace YGmou Eb​
Nothing Ever WBbill  F​
I've Spent A Cm7Lifetime FMoving EbOn
And SomeCm7how LFove Stood SBbtill

Verse 8
BbMy Hair Has Turned To Silver
The GmYears Have Left Their Mark
I've LEbearned That Growing Older
Doesn't MBbake The Distance Dark

Verse 9
FI've ForgiBbven What I Couldn't  F​
I've AccGmepted What I Lost
Some ThEbings Are Not Forgotten
No Matter What They CFost

Verse 10
I Don't Need You To ReBbturn Now
I Don't NFeed Another ChGmance
I Finally Stopped PEbretending
That EFvery Love Can Be RepBblaced

Bridge
Maybe LoFve Was Never MGmeant
To Disappear CompleteEbly
Maybe Some HeBbarts Leave A Mark
That TFime Cannot DefGmeat
And If I Could Go Back TEbhere
I Wouldn't ABbsk You To StF7ay
I'd Only TCm7ell You What I CoEbuldn't
When You WFalked AwF7ay
You Were The One I Didn't KCmnow
Cm7I Would Spend My Life RememFbering

Chorus
I've Known Other HBbands
I've Walked Other RoFads
I've Watched This OGmld World Change And GrEbow
And I Don't RegBbret The Life I've LiveF7d
Or All The ThEbings The Years Have GFiven
But Standing HBbere Beneath This Morning SFky
I Finally UGmnderstand Why Eb​
Some LoBbves Don't Need Another DaFy
To Prove They EbNever WFent Away Bb​
NotFhing Could RepGmlace You
And I Don't Need It TEbo
I Finally Made My PBbeace With That   F​
And I Can Say It NBbow

Outro
IBb Loved You I Lost You
I CFarried You This GmFar
And AEbfter All These YearFs
I Know Exactly What You BbAre   F​
The One LEbove No OFne Could ReplBbace
The House Is Quiet Now The Morning LGmight Is New
I Close The DEboor Behind Me F   And I Don't Look BbBack
FNothing Could Replace YBbou
