Intro
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
[C]I walked through the door with you, t[G]the air was cold
But som[Am]something 'bout it felt like ho[F]home somehow, and I
[C]Left my scarf there at your sis[G]sister's house
And you've sti[Am]still got it in your dra[F]drawer, even now
 
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
Oh, your sw[C]sweet disposition and my wi[G]wide eyed gaze
We're sing[Am]singing in the car, getting lo[F]lost upstate
[C]Autumn leaves falling down like pi[G]pieces into place
And I [Am]can picture it after a[F]all these days
 
And I kno[C]know it's long gone and
That mag[G]magic's not here no more
And I mi[Am]ght be ok, but I'm n[G]ot fine at a[F]ll, o[G]h [Am] [G]
 
'Cause th[C]there we are again on that li[G]little town street
You alm[Am]almost ran the red 'cause you were lo[F]looking over at me
Wind in my ha[C]hair, I was there
I rem[G]remember it all too w[Am]well [F]
 
Photo al[C]album on the counter
Your che[G]cheeks were turning red
You used to be a lit[Am]little kid with glasses in a twi[F]twin-sized bed
And your mot[C]mother's telling stories 'bout you on the t[G]tee ball team
You tau[Am]taught me 'bout your past thinkin' your fu[F]future was me
And you were to[C]tossing me the car keys
Fuck the patr[G]patriarchy, keychain on the g[Am]ground
We were always skipping to[F]town
And I was thi[C]thinking on the drive down
Any time no[G]now, he's gonna say it's l[Am]love
You never called it what it w[F]was
'Til we were de[C]dead and gone and buried
Check the pu[G]pulse and come back swearing, it's the sa[Am]same
After three months in the gr[F]grave
And then you wo[C]wondered where it went to
As I rea[G]reached for you, but all I felt was sh[Am]shame
And you held my lifeless fra[F]frame
 
And I kn[C]know it's long gone and
There was not[G]nothing else I could do
And I for[Am]forget about you long enough
To forg[G]forget why I needed t[F]to [G] [Am] [G]
 
'Cause th[C]there we are again in the midd[G]middle of the night
We're dan[Am]dancin' 'round the kitchen in the refri[F]refrigerator light
Down the sta[C]stairs, I was there
I rem[G]remember it all too we[Am]well [F]
And th[C]there we are again when no[G]nobody had to know
You ke[Am]kept me like a secret, but I ke[F]kept you like an oath
Sacred pra[C]prayer, and we'd swear
To reme[G]remember it all too w[Am]well [F]
 
[C] [G] [Am] [F] [G]
Well, maybe we got l[C]lost in translation
Maybe I as[G]asked for too much
But maybe this th[Am]thing was a masterpiece
'Til you t[F]tore it all up
Running scar[C]scared, I was there
I rem[G]remember it all too w[Am]well [F]
 
And you c[C]call me up again
Just to br[G]break me like a promise
So casu[Am]casually cruel in the na[F]name of being honest
I'm a crum[C]crumpled up piece of paper ly[G]lying here
'Cause I remember it a[Am]all, all, a[F]all
 
They say: A[C]All's well that ends well
But I'[G]I'm in the new hell every t[Am]time []
​F
You double-cross my mind
You said if [C]we had been closer in a[G]age
Maybe it would have been f[Am]fine
And that made me wa[F]want to die
 
The id[C]idea you had of me, who was she?
A nev[G]never-needy, ever lovely je[Am]jewel
Whose shine reflects on y[F]you
Not wee[C]weeping in a party bathroom
Some act[G]actress asking me what happened
[Am]You, that's what happened: Y[F]You
 
You, who ch[C]charmed my dad with self-effa[G]self-effacing jokes
Si[Am]Sipping coffee like you were on a la[F]late night show
But then he wat[C]watched me watch the front door all night
Will[G]Willing you to come
And he said: I[Am]It's supposed to be fun turn[F]turning 21
 
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
Ti[C]Time won't fly, it's like I'm paral[G]paralyzed by it
I'd like to [Am]be my old self again
But I'm st[F]still trying to find it
After pla[C]plaid shirt days and nights when you ma[G]made me your own
Now you m[Am]mail back my things and I wa[F]walk home alone
But you ke[C]keep my old scarf from that very fi[G]first week
'Cause it remi[Am]reminds you of innocence
And it smel[F]smells like me, you can't get r[C]rid of it
'Cause you rem[G]remember it all too we[Am]well [F]
 
'Cause the[C]there we are again when I lo[G]loved you so
B[Am]Back before you lost the one real thi[F]thing you've ever known
It was ra[C]rare, I was there
I reme[G]mber it all too we[Am]ll (oh,[F] oh)
 
Wind in my ha[C]hair, you were there, you rem[G]remember it all
Down the sta[Am]stairs, you were there, you reme[F]remember it all
It was ra[C]rare, I was there
I reme[G]remember it all too we[Am]well [F]
 
And I was never good at tel[C]telling jokes, but the punc[Am]punchline goes
I'll get ol[F]older, but your lovers st[G]stay my age
From when your Broo[C]Brooklyn broke my s[Am]skin and bones
I'm a sol[F]soldier who's returning ha[G]half her weight
 
And did the tw[C]twin flame bruise paint y[Am]you blue?
Just betw[F]between us, did the love affair ma[G]maim you too?
'Cause in this ci[F]city's barren cold
I still remember the fir[G]first fall of snow
And how it glistened as it fe[F]fell
I remember it all too we[C]well [Am]
 
Just bet[F]ween us, did the
love aff[G]air maim you all too w[C]ell? [Am]
Just bet[F]ween us, do you remember[G] it all too we[C]ll? [Am]
Just bet[F]ween us (just between us), i
reme[G]mber it all too we[C]ll ([Am]wind in my hair)
 
(I was th[Am]there, I was there)
(D[F](Down the stairs, I was th[G]there, I was there)
(Sac[C](Sacred prayer, I was the[Am]there, I was there)
([F]It was rare, you remem[G]ber it all too we[C]ll)
(wind in my hair, was th[Am]there, I was there)
(Do[F](Down the stairs, I was th[G]there, I was there)
(Sac[C](Sacred prayer, I was the[Am]there, I was there)
([F](It was rare, you remem[G]remember it [C]
 
(wind in my hair, was th[Am]there, I was there)
(Do[F](Down the stairs, I was th[G]there, I was there)
