Em         D               C     Em    D C
I'm alone, sitting with my empty glass.
        Em    D         C          Em    D C
My four walls follow me through my past.
Em               D  C  Em           D      C
I was on a Paris train I emerged in London rain
    Em                     D        C     ´      Em  D C
and you were waiting there swimming through apologies.

I remember searching for the perfect words.
A            B                     G
I was hoping you might change your mind.
A            B                G           D
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me.
A             B G B

Em              D              C       Em    D C
You wore white. Smiling as you took my hand.
   Em          D              C       Em          D C
So removed, we spoke of wintertime in France.
Em                          D    C
Minutes passed with shallow words.
Em                    D         C
Years have passed and still the hurt.
Em                 D              C        Em  D C
I can see you now, smiling as you pulled away.

A              B               G          D
I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand.
A              B                 G
"I'll love you always" filled my eyes.
A            B                 G       D
I remember a night we walked along the Seine.
A             B G B
Riding on the metro.

I remember a feeling coming over me!

The soldier turned, then looked away.
A          B              G          D
I remember hating you for loving me!
A             B G B
