* this part can be plucked very easily , or it can be strummed with chords , but the chords
kinda wacky , and they sound really bad unless you do it perfectly , so i’ll just include
plucked notes . if you’d like to tab the chords and post them , please do .

about you

i can’t forget all the things we did
some things last a long time

all the while
i still think of you
some things last a long time
