^A I went back in time today a ^F#m box I thought,
I'd thrown away,
^D Had fallen off the basement shelf,
^E I tripped and almost hurt myself,
^A Scattered there across the floor,
A ^F#m New Year's Eve hat from '94,
^D Ticket stubs to Billy Joel, ^Esus and pictures,
From the ^E Sugar Bowl,
(bridge)
^C#m Some of these sou ^F#m venirs I rememb ^D er,
Mostly I d ^Esus-E on't,
^C#m It's funny how ^F#m time reduces a kee ^D psake,
To a foot ^Esus note, ^{- E}
(chorus)
^D The wheres and the w ^A hens that meant so much t ^E hen,
Have gracefully mo ^A ved along, ^G
D My memo ^A ry had mercy on ^F#m me and l ^A et me go ^D on ^- , ^{A - Bm}
Considering ^A everything you m ^D eant I thought,
I ne ^E ver would for ^D get,
(verse 2)
Here's us dancing on your birthday,
July 29th or 28th,
The song was "Always and Forever,
I'm not sure but I remember,
That's the night we first made love,
The passion captured both of us,
It held us, then it set us free,
This is all that's left of you and me,
(bridge)
A cardboard treasure chest with a diary,
Of two lovers,
Now it's a dusty old box no different,
From the others,
(chorus)
^D The wheres and the w ^A hens that meant so much t ^E hen,
Have gracefully mo ^A ved along, ^G
D My memo ^A ry had mercy on ^F#m me and l ^A et me go ^D on ^- , ^{A - Bm}
Considering ^A everything you m ^D eant I thought,
I ne ^E ver would for ^D get,

(ending)
^D My memo ^A ry had mercy on ^F#m me and l ^A et me go ^D on ^- , ^{A - Bm}
Considering ^A everything you m ^D eant I thought,
I ne ^E ver would for ^D get,
