I can't believe you're gone forever
A                      E
I've got a photo on my wall
A                           D
And I, I've got a memory so strong
D                         A
That lingers on and on forever

I can't believe you're really gone

I'll sit around and I'll think about you

I wonder can you hear me

I wish the time could start again

Some people say life's too short
D
But it's too long without ya

I suppose you'd (hit/hate) me if you heard me say it
