[verse: 1]
D           F#m
 Faded photographs
Am                  B7
  Covered now with lines and creases
Em                 C
  Tickets torn in half
C#m7b5         F#
  Memories in bits and pieces
 
[chorus: 1]
Bm          Bm/A      Bm/Ab
  Traces of love long ago
     Bm/G            Bbmaj7   Cm7
That didn't work out right
          Em7     A7sus4 A7
Traces of love
 
[verse: 2]
D                  F#m
  Ribbons from her hair
Am                    B7
  Souvenirs of days together
Em              C
  The ring she used to wear
C#m7b5          F#
  Pages from an old love letter
 
[chorus: ]
Bm          Bm/A      Bm/Ab
  Traces of love long ago
     Bm/G            Bbmaj7   Cm7
That didn't work out right
           Em7      A7sus4 A7   D
Traces of love with   me     tonight
 
[bridge:]
Bm           F#m
  I close my eyes
Bm           F#m
  And say a prayer
Bm                 F#m
That in her heart she'll find
    G                  A
A trace of love still ther
   Bb
Somewhere

  Traces of hope in the night
