[Opening]
[D] [Em7] [G] [A] [D] [C] [Em7] [Em] [D]
[D]Every [Em7]year when this [G]day [A]rolls [D]around
I [C]think of the [Bm7]night
We first [Em7]tore up the [D]town
And I [F#m]wonder if you’re [G]laughing
With your [Bm]eyes glowing [G]
Making [F#m]pretty conver[G]sation
With the [E7]wines flowing
And [Em7]running your place [A]
Just like [D]always [G] [C] [G]
Just like [D]always [G] [C] [Em7]

[section 2]
[D]Everyday, at [G]least [A]one [D]time
I [C]look at your [Bm7]face
In the [Em7]back of my [D]mind
When you’re [F#m]smiling at the [Bm7]ocean
And your eyes shine [G]
When your [F#m]hair’s a red [G]river
And it’s [E7]all mine
For a [Em7]thousand days [A]
Just like [D]always [G] [C] [D] [G]

[section 3]
Maybe [G]someday [Em7]
I really will [F#m]forget [B7]
I’ll really learn to [Em]love again [G]
I’ll [A]live without re[D]grets [C] [Bm7] [G]
But funny isn’t [G]it [Em]
This man aingt laughing [F#m]yet [B7]
Does love really last [Em7]forever
[C]Does the ocean love the [G]sunset every [D]time

[Closing]
Oh I [G]pass your [D]street
I [C]look both [Bm7]ways
[Em7]So incom[D]plete
And I [F#m]think that I might [G]see you
But of [Bm7]course I [G]don`t
And I [D]wish that you would [G]call me
But I [E7]know you won’t
And I [Em7]love you anyway [A] [A7]
Just like [D]always [G] [C] [G]
Just like [D]always [C] [G]
Just like al[Bm7]ways [Em7]
