Verse 2.


Memories, good days, bad days
They'll be with me always
In these old familiar rooms
Childeren would play
Now there's only emptiness
Nothing to say

Knowing me knowing you
We just have to face it  this time we're through
Breaking up is never easy I know but I have to go
Knowing me knowing you it's the best I can do

Notes:

The timing of the chord changes in the intro isn't difficult, but takes a bit of getting used to.  This is in the key of D, the same as Abba's recording,  so play along to the CD.

Use the First Position A chords for the end of line 4 in the verse

Asus4          A           Asus2
X0223X       X0222X       X0220X

Play the barr? versions of the G and A chords in posotions III and V where shown and emphasise the bass.

  G             A
