I moved your pictures from my wall

And I'll replace them, both large and small

And each new day finds me so blue
Bbm Eb Eb7+5
Nothing takes the place of you

Verse 2:

I read your letters one by one
And I still love you when it's all said and done
And oh my darling, I'm so blue
Bbm Eb Ab Ab7
Because nothing, oh nothing, takes the place of you

Bridge:

Db Ab
As... I write this letter
Eb Ab Ab7
It's raining on my windowpane
Db Fm
As... I feel the need of you
Bb7 Eb7 Eb7+5
Because without you nothing seems the same

Verse 3:

So I'll wait until you're home
Again I'll love you but I'm all alone
And oh, my darling, I'm so blue
Bbm Eb Ab
Because nothing, oh but nothing takes the place of you
