Track 2 on side one of Graham Nash's 1971 debut solo album, "Songs for Beginners". This tab is a guitar arrangement based on the piano part. The actual guitar part, heard faintly on the right channel, predominantly follows the same chords provided below. To alleviate any confusion during the more odd chord progressions, I've added timestamps corresponding to the YouTube video linked at the end of this description, for easy referral. I've also added asterisks next to certain chords to signify that you should play only the root note of that chord, not the full chord, for use as transitions. ~TIP~For easier playing, transpose this tab two steps down and place a capo on the second fret.

F#                        C# *   F#dim7
   When your love has moved away
                                           B
   You must face yourself and you must say
                          F#
   I remember better days
F#                        C# *   F#dim7
   Don't you cry 'cause she is gone
                         B
   She is only moving on
                              F#
   Chasing mirrors through a haze
 
F#     F#m7     F#sus4     F# x2
 
F#                       A
   Now that you know it's nowhere
B                        A *     F#
   What's to stop you coming home
F#                       A
   All you got to do is go there
B                        A *     F#
   Then you'll really realize what's going down
 
F#                       A
   You went to a strange land searching
B                        A *     F#
   For a truth you felt was wrong
F#                       A
   That's when the heartaches started
                   B                                       A *
   Though you're where you want to be, you're not where you belong
