I’m trying so hard to [Am7] forget you. [D7]
And leave the life we had be-[Gmaj7] hind [Cmaj7]
And there are times I feel the [F#7] day has come
I’ve chased [B7] you from my [Em] mind
But I’m afraid there’s always [Am7] something [D7]
That sets me back and makes me [Gmaj7] see [Cmaj7]
You’re more than just a memory [F#7] in the past
You’re [B7] still a part of [Em] me
Chorus: So [E] how do I [Am7] stop loving you? [D7]
Forget things that [Gmaj7] we used to do? [Em]
For-[D] get all the [A] dreams that we shared? [B7]
And how my life was [Em] knowing you cared?
Why do [E7] I end [Am7] up where I start
Each [D7] time I [Gmaj7] try? [Cmaj7]
Just tell me how [F#7] I can forget [B7]
So I can say [Em] goodbye
I’m tired of all the lonely [Am7] evenings [D7]
And all the many times I’ve [Gmaj7] cried [Cmaj7]
I’m tired of wondering what I [F#7] might have done
to [B7] keep you by my [Em] side.
And reaching out across your [Am7] pillow, [D7]
I start remembering you’re [Gmaj7] gone [Cmaj7]
And though I know that we can [F#7] never be
The [B7] pain in me goes [Em] on
Chorus: So [E] how do I [Am7] stop loving you? [D7]
Forget things that [Gmaj7] we used to do? [Em]
For-[D] get all the [A] dreams that we shared? [B7]
And how my life was [Em] knowing you cared?
Why do [E7] I end [Am7] up where I start
Each [D7] time I [Gmaj7] try? [Cmaj7]
Just tell me how [F#7] I can forget [B7]
So I can say [Em] goodbye
* So [E] how do I [Am7] stop loving you? [D7]
Please tell me [B7] why…
I find it so [F#7] hard to forget [B7]
And hard to say Good-[Em] bye
