C       C7   F             Dm7                 C    Dm7 C
I can't stop loving you... So, I've made up my mind
C          G9   G7    Dm7    G7       C
to live in mem..ories of the lonesome times
  C7         F             Dm7             C   Dm7 C
I can't stop wanting you.. It's useless to say
C            G9      G7       Fdim      G7    C
so I'll just live my life, in dreams of yesterday
 
CHORUS:
G9    G7    C           C7      F   Dm7
Those happy hours, that we once knew
       Fdim   C Dm7  C             G9  G7
Though long ago      still make me blue
G9   G7       C   Dm7  C       C7     F    Dm7
They say that time     heals a broken heart
Dm7                C      G9          G7    C   C7
But time has stood still, since we've been apart
