Capo:none (standard tuning)
(Intro)
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
(Verse 1)
[C]I walked through the[G] door with you, the air was cold
But [Am]somethin' 'bout it felt like [F]home somehow
And I [C]left my scarf there at your [G]sister's house
And you've [Am]still got it in your [F]drawer, even now
(Interlude)
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
(Verse 2)
Oh, your [C]sweet disposition and my [G]wide-eyed gaze
We're [Am]singing in the car, getting [F]lost upstate
[C]Autumn leaves falling down like [G]pieces into place
And I [Am]can picture it after [F]all these days
(Pre-Chorus)
And I [C]know it's long gone and
That [G]magic's not here no more
And I [Am]might be okay, but I'm not [G]fine at all
[F]Oh,[G]oh,[F]oh[G]
(Chorus)
'Causе [C]there we arе again on that [G]little town street
You [Am]almost ran the red 'cause you were [F]lookin' over at me
Wind in my [C]hair, I was there
I [G]remember it all [Am]too [F]well
(Verse 3)
Photo [C]album on the counter, your [G]cheeks were turning red
You used to be a [Am]little kid with glasses in a [F]twin-sized bed
And your [C]mother's
telling stories 'bout you on the [G]tee-ball team
You [Am]taught me 'bout your past, thinking your [F]future was me
And you were [C]tossing me the car keys
"Fuck the [G]patriarchy" keychain on the [Am]ground
We were always skipping [F]town
And I was [C]thinking on the drive down
Any [G]time now, he's gonna say it's [Am]love
You never called it what it [F]was
'Til we were [C]dead and gone and buried
Check the [G]pulse and come back
Swearing it's the [Am]same
After three months in the [F]grave
And then you [C]wondered where it went to
As I [G]reached for you
But all I felt was [Am]shame
And you held my lifeless [F]frame
(Pre-Chorus)
And I [C]know it's long gone and
There was [G]nothing else I could do
And I [Am] forget about you long enough
To[G] forget why I needed to
[F]Oh,[G]oh,[F]oh[G]
(Chorus)
'Causе [C]there we arе again in the [G] middle of the night
We're [Am] dancing round the kitchen in the [F] refrigerator light
Down the [C] stairs, I was there
I [G]remember it all [Am]too [F]well
And [C]there we arе again
When [G]nobody had to know
You [Am] kept me like a secret
But I [F]kept you like an oath
Sacred prayer [C]and we'd swear
To [G]remember it all [Am]too [F]well, yeah
(Instrumental)
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
[G] [G]
(Bridge)
Well maybe we got [C]lost in translation
Maybe I [G]asked for too much
But maybe this [Am]thing was a masterpiece
'Til you [F]tore it all up
Running [C]scared, I was there
I [G]remember it all [Am]too [F]well
And you [C]call me up again
Just to [G]break me like a promise
So [Am]casually cruel in the [F]name of being honest
I'm a [C]crumpled up piece of paper [G]lying here
'Cause I remember it [Am]all, all, [F]all
(Verse 4)
They say "[C]All's well that ends well"
But [G]I'm in a new hell every [Am]time
You double-[F]cross my mind
You said if [C]we had been closer [G]in age
Maybe it would have been [Am]fine
And that made me [F]want to die
The [C]idea you had of me, who was she?
A [G]never-needy, ever lovely [Am]jewel
Whose shine reflects on [F]you
Not [C]weeping in a party bathroom
Some [G]actress asking me what happened
[Am]You
That's what happened:
[F]you
You, who [C]charmed my dad with self-[G]effacing jokes
[Am]Sipping coffee like you were on a [F]late night show
But then he [C]watched me watch the front door
all night, [G]willing you to come
And he said, "[Am]it's supposed to be fun…
[F]Turning 21"
(Interlude)
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
(Verse 5)
[C]Time won't fly, it's like I'm [G]paralyzed by it
I'd like to [Am]be my old self again,
but I'm [F]still trying to find it
After [C]plaid shirt days and nights when you [G]made me your own
Now you [Am]mail back my things and I [F]walk home alone
But you [C]keep my old scarf from that [G]very first week
'Cause it [Am]reminds you of innocence and it [F]smells like me
You can't get [C]rid of it
'Cause you [G]remember it all [Am]too [F]well, yeah
(Chorus)
'Causе [C]there we arе again when I [G]loved you so
[Am] Back before you lost the one real [F]thing you've ever known
It was [C]rare, I was there
I [G]remember it all [Am]too [F]well
(Post-Chorus)
Wind in my [C]hair, you were there
You [G]remember it all
Down the [Am] stairs, you were there
You [F]remember it all
It was [C]rare, I was there
I [G]remember it all [Am]too [F]well
(Verse 6)
And I was never good at [C]telling jokes
But the [Am]punchline goes:
"I'll get [F]older, but your lovers [G]stay my age."
From when your [C]Brooklyn broke my [Am]skin and bones
I'm a [F]soldier who's returning [G]half her weight
And did the [C]twin flame bruise paint [Am]you blue?
Just [F]between us, did the love affair [G]maim you too?
Cause in this [F]city's barren [F]cold
I still remember the[G] first fall of [G]snow
And how it glistened as it [F]fell
I [F]remember it all [C]too [Am]well
Just [F]between us, did the love affair [G]maim you
all [C]too [Am]well
Just [F]between us, [G]remember it
all [C]too [Am]well
Just [F]between us, [G]remember it all [C]too well
(Outro)
[C]Wind in my hair, I was [Am]there, I was there
[F]Down the stairs, I was [G]there, I was there
[C]Sacred prayer, I was [Am] there, I was there
[F]It was rare, you [G] remember it (all too well)
[C]Wind in my hair, I was [Am]there, I was there
[F]Down the stairs, I was [G]there, I was there
[C]Sacred prayer, I was [Am] there, I was there
[F]It was rare, you [G] remember it
[C]Wind in my hair, I was [Am]there, I was there
[F]Down the stairs, I was [G]there, I was there
[C]Sacred prayer, I was [Am] there, I was there
[F]It was rare, you [G] remember it
[C]Wind in my hair, I was [Am]there, I was there
[F]Down the stairs, I was [G]there, I was there
[C]Sacred prayer, I was [Am] there, I was there
[F]It was rare, you [G] remember it
[C] [Am]
