Play this for the whole song : Still haven't figured out the picking pattern
so try listening to the song again to get it

[Am][C]

Sometimes the hole you left hurts my heart so badIt cuts through the deepest parts of meAnd fills up my mouth with the words that cryHow I'm still trying to stay inside

Hearts break and hands wave
To make us grow fonder
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh
So that we know that it hurts

Hearts break and hands wave
To make us grow fonder
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh
So that we know that it hurts

Every now and then my memories ache
With the empty ideas of the ones we'[d] made
But as time goes on and my age gets older
I love the ones I know, they're enough to picture the rest

'Cause hearts break and hands wave
To make us grow fonder
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh
So that we know that it hurts

Your hearts break and hands wave
To make us grow fonder
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh
So that we know that it hurts

You know when to make me imagine you're here
You know when to make me imagine you're here
You know when to make me imagine you're here
You know when to make me imagine you're here
