Strum
D-DU-UDU
 x2
Sometimes  I feel so aimless  If I’ve been shameless  in my pride
 That my soul  showed. That I could go  on. Live without  you in my life.
All  the roads I’ve traveled
 All the  mountains I put behind
 But still  I can’t seem  to get you off of my mind
 And after all  the years, baby,  the worry  and lies
 And still  you’re smile can take  me by surprise.
Time  rose past its  slumber, but still I  wonder what went  wrong.
 Did I loose you,  or did I trade  you for a moment  or a song
Ohhh  to be here like we  once were, like  we never will again
Ohhh.  To be sent home  used to please  me
 Was enough just  to be your friend
All  the roads I’ve traveled
 All the  mountains I put behind
 But still  I can’t seem  to get you off of my mind
 And after all  the years,  the pain,  the worry and lies
 And still  you’re smile can take  me by surprise.
 And still  you’re smile can take  me by surprise.
