[Verse 1]
C           Em    Fmaj7
     Memories fade slowly
C       Em                 Fmaj7
     No please don’t go,      not yet
C             Em     Fmaj7
    I was your one and only
C              Em      Fmaj7
    And I’m not ready to    forget
       F                G
All the times we shared together
       F             G
All the words we never said, and I remember

[Chorus]
       C     Em      Fmaj7
When we almost went to california
  C     Em      Fmaj7
We almost fell in love in the sand
       C      Em       Fmaj7
And you almost told me to be your woman
        Bb   F    Dm     G     C
So you’ll al - ways almost be my man

[Verse 2]
C                 Em       Fmaj7
     I think it was late last   summer
C              Em           Fmaj7
      I saw the distance in your eyes
C                   Em     Fmaj7
    You said that you found another
C                Em        Fmaj7
     And then you told me not to cry
      F                 G
But I knew that’s when it started
      F            G
The beginning of the end, and I remembered

[Chorus]
       C     Em      Fmaj7
When we almost went to california
  C     Em      Fmaj7
We almost fell in love in the sand
       C      Em       Fmaj7
And you almost told me to be your woman
        Bb   F    Dm     G     C
So you’ll al - ways almost be my man

[Verse 3]
C                Em       Fmaj7
    I guess it was late last winter
C       Em           Fmaj7
    Snow falling all around
C                   Em      Fmaj7
    The wedding bells rang she entered
C         Em           Fmaj7
    But I left without a sound
     F                G
Oh I know she’ll always love you
          F               G
But Heaven knows that so will I, and I’ll remember

[Chorus]
       C     Em      Fmaj7
When we almost went to california
  C     Em      Fmaj7
We almost fell in love in the sand
       C      Em       Fmaj7
And you almost told me to be your woman
        Bb   F    Dm    G     C
So you’ll al - ways almost be my man
