C Em Am F
I drive a new path so I won't have to pass the place where you first held my hand
C Em Am F
and I'm just trying to get back to normal not too stiff too formal what do I do with my hands
C
now I'm drifting through our regular store
Em
pretending i'm not wishing you behind every door
Am
and I can't remember what my words are good for
F C
now I don't get to say I love you anymore
Em
I'm swimming back to shore
Am
just trying to keep your
F
memory from washing over me
C
and oh, I'm sure
Em
I'll find my voice once more
Am
but what are words good for
F C
if I don't get to say I love you anymore
C Em Am F
I try not to be distracted by the absence of your coat thrown on my floor
C Em Am F
but every part of me can't help but see the places you should be the spaces in-between our words
C
now I'm drifting through our regular store
Em
pretending i'm not wishing you behind every door
Am
and I can't remember what my words are good for
F C
now I don't get to say I love you anymore
Em
I'm swimming back to shore
Am
just trying to keep your
F
memory from washing over me
C
and oh, I'm sure
Em
I'll find my voice once more
Am
but what are words good for
F C
if I don't get to say I love you anymore
