VERSE 1:
I was C7 standing at the counter,
I was C7 waiting for the change,
When I C7 heard that old familiar music F start.
It was C7 like a lighted match,
had been C7 tossed into my soul,
It was C7 like a dam had broken in my F heart.
After A# taking every detour,
Gettin' A# lost and losin' track,
So that F even if I wanted,
I could F not find my way back.
After A# drivin' out the memory,
Of the A# way things might have been,
After C7 I'd forgotten all about us,
The song remembers F when. A#
VERSE 2:
We were C7 rollin' through the Rockies,
We were C7 up above the clouds,
When a C7 station out of Jackson played that F song.
And it C7 seemed to fit the moment,
And the C7 moment seemed to freeze,
When we C7 turned the music up and sang a- F long.
And there A# was a God in Heaven,
And the A# world made perfect sense,
We were F young and were in love,
And we were F easy to convince.
We were A# headed straight for Eden,
It was A# just around the bend,
And C7 though I have forgotten all about it,
The song remembers F when.
BRDIGE:
I guess A# something must have happened,
And we A# must have said good- Dm bye.
And my G7 heart must have been broken,
Though C7 I can't recall just why, [m.c.]
The song remembers F when. A# F A#
VERSE 3:
Well, for C7 all the miles between us,
And for C7 all the time that's past,
You would C7 think I haven't gotten very F far.
And I C7 hope my hasty heart,
Will for- C7 give me just this once,
If I C7 stop to wonder how on earth F you are.
But that's A# just a lot of water,
Under- A# neath a bridge I burned,
And there's F no use in backtracking,
Around F corners I have turned.
Still I A# guess some things we bury,
Are just A# bound to rise again,
For C7 even if the whole world has forgotten,
The song remembers F when.
ENDING:
Yeah, and C7 even if the whole world has forgotten, [n.c.]
The song remembers F when. A# F A# F
