i close my eyes and it's still yesterday

i try so hard to let go

but yesterday always gets in my way

I wanna run but where would i go

i wanna lie down and die

no matter how hard i try

i'd forget if i could but i can't so i sit here and cry(x4)
G D
i can still see your face
C
every time that i close my eyes
G D
i've tried a million ways
C
but i think a deaf dumb blind man could see through this disguise
G D
how many years have i wasted
C
how many tears have i cried
G D
how many years since i've tasted
C
the kiss from your lips when you told me goodbye

it must be true what they say

no good can come from remembering when
G D
i'm praying for the day
C
that i wake up and don't want you back here again

I wanna run but where would i go
C D
i wanna lie down and die

no matter how hard i try
