A
I thought when you break up
E
You're not supposed to make up
F#m                        D
You let all your feelings go
A
Forget what you been through
E
Start over brand new
F#m                       D
As someone you used to know

I don't wanna be that way,
Feel down when I hear your name
'Cause we had good times together
And I know that feelings change
We won't ever be the same
But I don't wanna forget you

Chorus:
                A
Cause you were six years of my life
               E
Thought you'd have my kids and you'd be wife
         Bm
And I'll learn to live without you
    D
But I still care about you
               A
Cause we were lovers and two best friends
    E
And if I could I'd do it all again
     Bm
So I just wanted to say this
       D
Even though we didn't make it
        F#m  E  D
If you need someone
    F#m  E   D
To dry your tears
          F#m E   D        A
Then I'll always be right here

We sure got some history
And nobody knows me
Quite like the way you do
You show up in my dreams
I don't know what it means
But I think they're telling me, "Hold onto you"
Deep down I wanna try
To save what we left behind
Just a little bit of magic
If I'm honest it don't feel right
That after we say goodbye
We act like it never happened

Chorus

Mm-hmm, right here, mm-hmm,
right here, mm-hmm, right here
Mm-hmm, right here, mm-hmm,
right here, mm-hmm, right here
Mm-hmm, right here, mm-hmm,
right here, mm-hmm, right here
Mm-hmm, right here, mm-hmm,
right here, mm-hmm, right here

Six years (Right here, right here, right here)
That's a lot of love,
lot of smiles, and lot of tears
Six years (Right here, right here, right here)
And I'll always be so proud that we made it
Six years (Right here, right here, right here)
That's a lot of love,
lot of smiles, and lot of tears
Six years (Right here, right here, right here)
And I'll always be so proud that we made it
