Intro
[C] [Am] [D] [G]
I [C]saw in my mind fairy lights through the mist
I [Am]kept calm and carried the weight of the rift
[D]Pulled him in tighter each time he was drifting [G]away
[C]My spine split from carrying us up the hill
[Am]Wet through my clothes, weary bones caught the chill
I [D]stopped trying to make him laugh
Stopped trying to drill the [G]safe
Thinkin, [C]how much sad did you [Am]think I had
Did you [D]think I had in me?
[G]Oh, the tragedy …
[C]So [Am]long, [D]Lon[G]don
[C]You'll [Am]find [D]some[G]one…
Oh, your [G]sweet disposition
And my [D]wide-eyed gaze
We're [Em]singing in the car, getting [C]lost upstate
[G]Autumn leaves falling down like [D]pieces into place
And I [Em]can picture it after [C]all these days
And I [G]know it's long gone and that [D]magic's not here no more
And I [Em]might be okay but I'm not [C]fine at all
[C]Oh[D]oh[C]oh[D]oh
'Cause [G]there we are again on that [D]little town street
You [Em]almost ran the red 'cause you were [C]lookin' over at me
Wind in my [G]hair, I was there
I re[D]member it all too [Em]well[C]
I [C]didn't opt in to be your odd man out
I [Am]founded the club she's heard great things about
I [D]left all I knew, you left me at the house by the [G]Heath
I [C]stopped CPR, after all it's no use
The [Am]spirit was gone, we would never come to
And I'm [D]pissed off you let me give you all that youth for [G]free
And you were [G]tossing me the car keys, "Fuck the [D]patriarchy"
Keychain on the ground,[Em] we were always skippin' [C]town
And I was [G]thinkin' on the drive down, "Any [D]time now
He's gonna say it's [Em]love," you never called it what it [C]was
'Til we were [G]dead and gone and buried
Check the [D]pulse and come back swearin' it's the [Em]same
After three months in the [C]grave
And then you [G]wondered where it went to as I [D]reached for you
But all I felt was [Em]shame and you held my lifeless [C]frame
And I [G]know it's long gone and
There was [D]nothing else I could do
And I [Em]forget about you long enough
To [C]forget why I needed to
[C]Ooh[D]ooh[C]ooh[D]ooh
'Cause [G]there we are again in the [D]middle of the night
We're [Em]dancin' 'round the kitchen in the re[C]frigerator light
Down the stairs,[G] I was there
I re[D]member it all too [Em]well[C]
And [G]there we are again when no[D]body had to know
You [Em]kept me like a secret, but I [C]kept you like an oath
Sacred [G]prayer and we'd swear
To re[D]member it all too [Em]well,[C] yeah
[G] [D] [Em] [C]
Well, maybe we got [G]lost in translation, maybe I [D]asked for too much
But maybe this [Em]thing was a masterpiece 'til you [C]tore it all up
Runnin' scared,[G] I was there
I re[D]member it all too [Em]well[C]
And you [G]call me up again just to [D]break me like a promise
So [Em]casually cruel in the [C]name of bein' honest
I'm a [G]crumpled-up piece of paper [D]lyin' here
'Cause I remember it [Em]all, all, [C]all
And you [Em]say I abandoned the ship
But I was [G]going down with it
My white [D]knuckle dying grip
Holding [Am]tight to your quiet resentment and
My friends said [Em]it isn't right to be scared
Every [G]day of a love affair
Every [D]breath feels like rarest air
When you're not [Am]sure if he wants to be there
[Em]So how much sad did you [G]think I had,
Did you [D]think I had in me?
[Am]How much tragedy?
[C]Just how low did you [G]think I'd go?
Before I'd[D] self-implode
Before I'd[Am] have to go be free
You [C]swore that you loved me but where were the clues?
I [Am]died on the altar waiting for the proof
You [D]sacrificed us to the gods of your blu[G]est days
And I'm [C]just getting color back [Am]into my face
I'm [D]just mad as hell cause I [G]loved this place
For [C]so [Am]long, [D]Lon[G]don
[C]Had [Am]a [D]good [G]run
A [C]mo[Am]ment of [D]warm [G]sun
But [C]I'm [Am]not [D]the [G]one
And I was never good at [G]tellin' jokes, but the [Em]punch line goes
"I'll get ol[C]der, but your lovers [D]stay my age"
From when your [G]Brooklyn broke my skin[Em] and bones
I'm a [C]soldier who's returning half[D] her weight
And did the [G]twin flame bruise paint [Em]you blue?
Just be[C]tween us, did the love affair maim[D] you too?
'Cause in this [C]city's barren cold
I still remember the [D]first fall of snow
And how it glistened as it [C]fell
I remember it all too [G]well
Just [C]between us, did the love affair [D]maim you all too [G]well?[Em]
Just [C]between us, do you re[D]member it all too [G]well?[Em]
Just [C]between us, I re[D]member it all too [G]well[Em]
[C]So [Am]long, [D]Lon[G]don
[C]Stit[Am]ches [D]un[G]done
[C]Two [Am]graves, [D]one [G]gun
[C]You'll [Am]find [D]some[G]one …
[G]Wind in my hair, I was there, [Em]I was there (I was there)
[C]Down the stairs, I was there, [D]I was there
[G]Sacred prayer, I was there, [Em]I was there
[C]It was rare, you re[D]member it all too [G]well[Em]
For [C]so [Am]long, [D]Lon[G]don
[C]Had [Am]a [D]good [G]run
A [C]mo[Am]ment of [D]warm [G]sun
[C]You’ll [Am]find [D]some[G]one…
