G                                                  C 
When you left I thought that I would soon be over you 
        D                                                C      G 
Even told myself that I would find somebody new 
                                                                           C 
Time and tears have come and gone but not your memory 
      C  D  G                          D                        G     G7 
But I'll be over you when the grass grows over me 
 

                 C                                            G 
Yes I'll be over you when you're standing over me 
            A                                                               D 
And as you look down at the cold cold ground I'm sleeping in 
             G                                          C 
Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you then 
            C D   G                         D                        G 
'Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me 
 
Even when my eyes are closed they keep on seeing you 
Every minute of the night I'm hurting through and through 
And as long as I'm alive I know I can't be free 
But I'll be over you when the grass grows over me 
 
Yes I'll be over you when you're standing over me 
And as you look down at the cold cold ground I'm sleeping in 
Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you then 
'Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me
