                  C5 
Every once in a while 
             G5 
I think about you 
         A5            
And your strawberry hair 
            F5                G5 
The little things we used to do 

I even called your old number 

But it wasn't the same 

Some strangers voice 

On the answering machine 

Chorus: 
        A5 
But the feelings remain, 
       G5 
After all this time 
              A5 
And those old memories won't fade, 
          G5 
From the back of my mind 

When I hear and old song 

Then I'm with you again 

In that one room apartment 

We had time and we had plans 
 
But plans fall through 

And dreams run dry 

They just slowly disappear 

Like a deardrop from your eye 

Chorus 

Bridge: 
                  G5      
I don't know if I love you 
           F5 
Only think of you 
G5          C5 
Once in a while 

Instrumental (Verse 2x) 

Chorus 

Every once in a while 
I could see you cry 
And I'm saying I'm not 
But I can't say why 
 
I hear you got married 
And had a beautiful child 
And I only think about you 
F    G     C     repeat verse pattern and fade 
Once in a while 

An idea of the picking used:
