---VERSE---

Bm                     D
This is just to say hello
                 A
And to let you know
                         Em
I think of you from time to time
Bm                          D
I know I never really knew you
                    A
But somehow I miss you
                                Em
And wish that you'd stayed in my life
G                      D
Making contact gets harder
                        A
As the silence grows longer
                 Bm
And isn't it only me
G                             D
Who'd like us to see each other?
                            A
How I would hate to be a bother
                              Bm
The way we left it was you'd ring

D      G          Bm
I'm under no illusion
D        G           Bm
As to what I meant to you
G                     D
But you made an impression
D         G                    Bm
And sometimes I still feel the bruise
D          G                 Bm
Sometimes I still feel the bruise

---VERSE---

Bm                      D
Now and then I stumble on
                               A
What I've misplaced but never lost
                           Em
An ache I first felt long ago
Bm                               D
Though you've appeared and disappeared
                             A
Throughout these past few years
                             Em
I'd be surprised if you now showed
G                     D
Making contact gets harder
                        A
As the silence grows longer
                           Bm
And why would you think of me
G                             D
When you were not the one in love?
                          A
When you were not the dreamer?
                         Bm
When you were just the dream?

---CHORUS---

D      G        Bm
I'm under no illusion
D      G             Bm
As to what I meant to you
G                     D
But you made an impression
D         G                      Bm
And sometimes I still feel the bruise
D       G                    Bm
Sometimes I still feel the bruise
