D
Some folks said I was getting' well
    A                   D
But through the tears I couldn't tell
                            G
I could not see past yester day
            D                  A     D
'Cause your memory stood there in my way

D
A lonely mind plays funny tricks
A                    D
Works on things that can't be fixed
                                G
It's bound to dwell on what you miss
       D                   A       D
Like a midnight touch or a morning kiss

Chorus:
D          A                               D
It's still hard to face a day if you ain't in it
      A
But I had to draw the line,
          G                A
A million tears is a man's limit
    D
No, I don't expect your memory
          D7       G
To let me ever for get it
              D                      A
But once in a while I live through a minute
              D
And you ain't in it

D
It didn't take a clock to alarm me
      A              D
I was always up, I'd never sleep
                             G
Scared to death I'd dream of you
       D
That's more'n I wanted to
       A         D
Put my old heart through

D
A big dark cloud followed me around
       A               D
Didn't dare look up or I'd have drowned
                               G
Thought you took that sun with you
       D
But to day my curtain
             A         D
Let a little peep slip through

Chorus:
D          A                               D
It's still hard to face a day if you ain't in it
      A
But I had to draw the line,
          G                A
A million tears is a man's limit
    D
No, I don't expect your memory
          D7       G
To let me ever for get it
              D                      A
But once in a while I live through a minute
              D
And you ain't in it

    D
No, I don't expect your memory
          D7       G
To let me ever for get it
              D                      A
But once in a while I live through a minute
              D
And you ain't in it

A              D
Nah, You ain't in it...
