Chords with lyrics

Intro:

E MajorE  C# minorC#m  F# minorF#m  A augmentedA


Verse 1:
   E MajorE
Last night Beth asked how you're getting on
  C# minorC#m
I said you're doing good
      F# minorF#m
But some of you has left
           A augmentedA
And some of you is still here
  E MajorE
I said it first just as a joke
    C# minorC#m
But beneath all of the mirrors and smoke
   F# minorF#m               A augmentedA
Sometimes I think your memory is selective
     E MajorE
It just seems beyond convenient
C# minorC#m
Which parts are disappearing when
   F# minorF#m
The times you can't remember
   A augmentedA
I can't forget
 E MajorE
Maybe that's a kindness though
  C# minorC#m
A augmentedA beauty in the growing old
     F# minorF#m
That for some
           A augmentedA
Our own memories forgive us

Pre-Chorus:
      BB    E MajorE    A augmentedA    C# minorC#m
Well, it's all that I could wish for you
   A augmentedA    C# minorC#m      BB    A augmentedA
It's all that I could ever wish for you
             E MajorE
That those memories just fade away

Interlude:
C# minorC#m  F# minorF#m  A augmentedA


Verse 2:
   E MajorE
I reminded you just yesterday
C# minorC#m
That I have a daughter on the way
     F# minorF#m
And your eyes lit up
                 A augmentedA
And for a moment the clouds were lifted
  E MajorE
I hope that when you meet her too
   C# minorC#m
It's one of those days that stays with you
  F# minorF#m               A augmentedA
I hope she meets the person that I once knew
  E MajorE
As she gets older, yeah I'm sure
    C# minorC#m
She'll ask about you more and more
     F# minorF#m
And I'll tell her you were my best friend
     A augmentedA            E MajorE
And I'll let some of my memories slip away

Interlude:
C# minorC#m  F# minorF#m  A augmentedA


Bridge:

It's all that I could wish for you

It's all that I could ever wish for you
   BB    E MajorE    A augmentedA    C# minorC#m
It's all that I could wish for you
   A augmentedA    C# minorC#m      BB    A augmentedA
It's all that I could ever wish for you
   C# minorC#m      BB    A augmentedA
That I could ever wish for you
   C# minorC#m      BB    A augmentedA
That I could ever wish for you
             E MajorE
That those memories just fade away
