G7 (320001@1) C (x32010@1) C7 (x32310@1) F (133211@1) Lately although the feelings run just as deep, Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1) D (xx0232@1) C (x32010@1) the promise she made has grown impossible to keep, and yet, F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) F (133211@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) - F- (133211@1)Dm- (xx0231@1)G (320003@1) I wish it wasn't so, will he miss me if I go?
