Verse 1:

Ab Fm
I moved your pictures from my wall
Db Eb
And I`ll replace them, both large and small
Ab Fm
And each new day finds me so blue
Bbm Eb Eb7+5
Nothing takes the place of you

Verse 2:

I read your letters one by one
And I still love you when it`s all said and done
And oh my darling, I`m so blue
Bbm Eb Ab Ab7
Because nothing, oh nothing, takes the place of you

Bridge:

Db Ab
As... I write this letter
Eb Ab Ab7
It`s raining on my windowpane
Db Fm
As... I feel the need of you
Bb7 Eb7 Eb7+5
Because without you nothing seems the same

Verse 3:

So I`ll wait until you`re home
Again I`ll love you but I`m all alone
And oh, my darling, I`m so blue
Bbm Eb Ab
Because nothing, oh but nothing takes the place of you
