Places In My Past (James Taylor) (c)1971 Cmaj9 - - - F/G - - - , There are ladies in my life Lovely ladies in these lazy days And though I never took a wife May I say that I have loved me one or two , Of the people in my past Fading fac-es in a waking dream And though they never seemed to last very long There are faces I remem-ber >From the places in my past I said, all the dead-head miles And the insincere smiles Sometimes I can laugh and cry and I can't remember why But I still love those , good times gone by Hold on to them close or let them go I don't know I just seem to sing these songs - - - And say I'm sorry for the friends I used to know F/G - - - Cmaj9 - - - F/G - - - Cmaj9
