Verse 1

G Em

There are places I remember

G7 C Cm

All my life, though some have changed

G Em

Some forever, not for better

G7 C Cm

Some have gone and some remain

Chorus

Am D

All these places had their moments

G Em

With lovers and friends I still can recall

Am D

Some are dead and some are living

G G

In my life I’ve loved them all

Verse 2

G Em

But of all these friends and lovers

G7 C Cm

There is no one compares with you

G Em

And these memories lose their meaning

G7 C Cm

When I think of love as something new

Chorus

Am D

Though I know I’ll never lose affection

G Em

For people and things that went before

Am D

I know I’ll often stop and think about them

G G

In my life I love you more

Verse 3

G Em

Though I know I’ll never lose affection

G7 C Cm

For people and things that went before

G Em

I know I’ll often stop and think about them

G7 C Cm

In my life I love you more

G C Cm G

In my life I love you more

Practice tip: The Cm chord adds beautiful color to this song. It’s a barre chord on the 3rd fret — if it’s too hard, try Cm7 or just play C and dampen the E string.
