Joes Song chords by Jenika Marion

• Capo on 2nd

Verse 1:
G               Bm    Em     G
Looking back on conversations
    C
And tales that we are told
C
Hearts as pure as gold
        Em                 D
Holding hands like best of friends
      G        Bm  Em     G
Talk about our occupations
     C
That some day we would hold
          C
What we'd do when we'd get old
        G                 D
How our lives would never end
    C              G
For hours we would walk alone
    C                  G
And sing and laugh and practice songs
C          Em              G                D
Never even wondering where all the time had gone

Verse 2:
        G                      C
Growing old and never wiser we tried to figure out
      C
What existence was about
    G              D
Metaphysics in our heads
        G
Sharing all of our frustrations
     C
We'd never be alone
       C
In our fight to make it home
          Em             D*
What home was we'd never know

Verse 3:
              Em      D      G
And then came catcher in the rye
              Em  D         G
We kissed our innocence goodbye
         Em        D      G
Years of schooling almost done
           Em     D      G
Our time together nearly gone
               C            G
We looked each other in the eye
             B                 Em
Knowing full well we'd say goodbye
    C                                 Em            D
Our days of holding hands were slowly winding to an end
       Em               G
Off to college we would laugh and talk
   Em       G
Philosophy over our walks
  Em                   G              D
Beneath the stars we'd gaze up at the sky

Chorus:
                 Em   D   G
And friends have come and gone and died
         Em    D   G      Em  D
Left our hopes all out to try
      Em   D   G
Not a shoulder there to lean upon
     D7        C   G/F#
What have we become

Verse 4:
       G
Now it seems you are a stranger
     C
When once you were a twin
         Em
They say quitters never win
           G            D
But giving up is what I did
      G
Lying here so far from you
  C
I wonder where you are
           Em                                  D
I think of you but heavens knows if you're the same

Verse 5:
               G
'Cause to this day I've never seen you
    C
But maybe once before
         Em
You were walking out a door
      G                     D
And I think I'd caught your eye
         G
When you turned and walked away
     C
Like you didn't recognize
        Em
Telling me with your own eyes
             G               D
You've moved on and you were gone

Chorus:
            Em      D         G
And it's cliché but you'll be in my heart
         Em  D  G       Em    D
Till the day we aren't apart again
        Em    D  G
And you probably won't be there
              Em D G       C       D
But I'll hold on enough to care to say
  Em*              C*            D*
I love you, always have and always will

Outro:
       G*
I look back on conversations
    C*
And tales that we are told
Em*
Hearts as pure as gold
        C*                 D*
We held hands like best of friends



* means one strum down
