It'll be twelve months to the day in an hour since you left me
G A D A
Eleven months three weeks since I left town
D D/C# Bm
First stop was tendin' bar down in Baton Rouge
Bm7/A
Thinkin' I could get away from you
G A D
But you were on my mind every time I turned around
Em F#m G A
So then I went to Austin, Texas then Phoenix then I flew outta LAX
D D/F# Bm
Lord I can't believe it's been a year
G A D
I keep leavin' but you're still here
Touched down in Seattle waited tables in a coffee shop
I tried my hand down in Reno dealin' cards
Took a bus to try my luck on the East Coast
Spent a week with my blues in Chicago
But everywhere I went you were in my heart
I almost thought I lost you in D.C. but in Boston
Your memory caught up with me
For every mile I've cried a million tears
I keep leavin' but you're still here
Bridge
C G D
So if you're wonderin' why I'm standin' on your doorstep, it's 'cause you never left
C G A
I'm here to ask you for another chance 'cause baby I just can't forget
Em F#m A
The way you used to hold me and show me you loved me like you'd never ever let go of me
D D/F# G E7
For me that feelin' never disappeared
G A D
I keep leavin' but you're still here
I can't keep leavin' 'cause you're still here
