*This part can be plucked very easily, or it can be strummed with chords, but the chords 
kinda wacky, and they sound really bad unless you do it perfectly, so I'll just include 
plucked notes. If you'd like to tab the chords and post them , please do.

Then there's a characteristically Daniel out-of-place electric guitar effect that I 
include since I'm playing this on an acoustic. I'm sure you can figure it out.

I think
about you
often
often
I can't forget all the things we did
some things last a long time
some things last a long time

it's funny
but it's true
and it's true
but it's not funny
time comes and goes
all the while
I still think of you
some things last a long time

the things that we did
i can't forget
some things last a life time
