Chords with lyrics

C majorC   FF   G+G   C majorC

A minorAm   FF   G+G


   C majorC    FF    G+G       C majorC
I'm thinking of when I first touched you
A minorAm     FF    G+G
  Your skin was electric
     C majorC    FF    G+G       C majorC
Now I'm far too wise to dwell on such things
  A minorAm      FF      C majorC
And far too sentimental to forget them


C majorC   FF   G+G   C majorC

A minorAm   FF   G+G

  C majorC     FF  G+G    C majorC
I read somewhere memories are
A minorAm        FF      G+G
  stories you write for yourself
    C majorC      FF    G+G      C majorC
To explain who you are, and how you got there
    A minorAm     FF    C majorC
And to blame it on somebody else


     C majorC   FF G+G
Now the gifts are open
A minorAm    FF     G+G
  The toys are broken
DmDm    FF        G+G
  The speeches are all spoken
     A minorAm    FF   G+G
And the dishes cleared away
    C majorC  FF   G+G
The stream keeps flowing
A minorAm    FF     G+G
  My doubts are growing
DmDm        FF       G+G
  'Cause I've got no way of knowing
     A minorAm   FF     G+G
if it'll dam or reach the sea

For you and me


C majorC   FF   G+G   C majorC

A minorAm   FF   G+G

  C majorC    FF G+G   C majorC
I met a man twice my age
   A minorAm     FF       G+G
Half joking, he said 'I should warn you.
     C majorC        FF     G+G       C majorC
You're a fish on the line, and the line's pulling in,
        A minorAm     FF     C majorC
and there's a frying pan coming to warm you.'
   C majorC    FF      G+G    C majorC
And while I smiled, it occurred to me
A minorAm       FF      G+G
  I'm just gristle and blood
      C majorC      FF       G+G     C majorC
And I've spent half my life with the sun in my eyes
     A minorAm   FF       C majorC
Chasing rainbows through the mud


     C majorC   FF G+G
Now the gifts are open
A minorAm    FF     G+G
  The toys are broken
DmDm    FF        G+G
  The speeches are all spoken
     A minorAm    FF   G+G
And the dishes cleared away
    C majorC  FF   G+G
The stream keeps flowing
A minorAm    FF     G+G
  My doubts are growing
DmDm        FF       G+G
  'Cause I've got no way of knowing
     A minorAm   FF     G+G
if it'll dam or reach the sea

For you and me


C majorC   FF   G+G   C majorC

A minorAm   FF   G+G


   C majorC     FF     G+G      C majorC
When I was a child in a little kid's world
A minorAm    FF      G+G
  My heart was the same
    C majorC      FF      G+G    C majorC
as the one I have now But it amazes me how
   A minorAm     G+G     FF
much everything else has changed
