Took me all but 15 minutes to put this down,
i just wish i had a tenth of the talent this man has,
if it has the name Skip Ewing on it , it was a hit,
even if you didnt know he wrote it,  think about it

I (Ga)guess it finaly dawned on me your (De)gone , well (Ga)maybe i can make it on my (De)own.
i(Fg) dont stay up late wondering if you'll (De)call , and(Fg) some nights i dont dream of you at (Ab)all.
 your(Ga)memory still hurt'n me (De)inside, thats(Ga) something i"m still learning how to(De) hide.
tho this(Fg) heart of mine has lost an ache or(De) two, i"ve(Fg) only turned a(Ab) lighter shade of(De) blue 

(Ga)looking down the line sometimes i (De)think i see a change, but (Ab)then i think again and  think of(De) you 
(Ga)here and there i"ve  turned a stone, but, the(Ab) mountain hasnt (Ga)move i"ve(Ab) only turned a lighter shade of(De) blue...Ga De x2    

i'm(Ga) still afraid of turning out the(De) light, and (Ga)it takes all my strength to face the(De) night , 
 cause(Fg) thats the time i face the bitter(De)truth   i"ve(Fg) only turned a (Ab)lighter shade of (De)blue
