F           Am/E
We met, of all places,
     G(b5)/B     Bbmaj7/C
In front of Gristedes some
 F          Am/E        D/F#
freakishly cold winters day.
D7         Gm         Bb/F    Bbdim/E      A7
I had on several unflattering layers of wool.
      Dm           F/A            Bdim        E7
He slipped on the ice with his grocery bags full,

       Gsus2                       D/F#
So I rescued some Fruit Loops he dropped by the curb
        Bm7                    E7sus4
And he made some remark that my smile was superb
    Csus2                        G/B
I thought that was sweet and I started to go and he said
   A5
"Hey, whatcha doing tomorrow '

           D          A/C#
'Because I'll be here
        Bm7                   C       G         D
At the corner of Bleaker and Mercer tomorrow at 7.

If you want to meet up, I'll be waiting right here,
         C                  G     Ebadd9      F
And in case there are two fellas waiting for you,
            C
My name's John."
     C/D      Bb/C
He waved and then he was gone.


 F           Am/E          G(b5)/B     Bbmaj7/C
Needless to say I went back there to meet him
 F          Am/E        D/F#       D7
Mostly to see if he'd show, and there he was
Gm         Bb/F    Bbdim/E      A7
Out in the cold with his jacket pulled tight.
Dm           F/A          Bdim        E7
He took me to dinner and kissed me goodnight.

  Gsus2                       D/F#
The next week we went to this terrible play.
        Bm7                    E7sus4
And the week after that drank hot chocolate all day.
      Csus2                 G/B
And suddenly, eight or nine months had flown by when he said
  A7sus4
"Hey, whatcha doing the rest of your life '
          D            A/C#
'Because I'll be here
       Bmin7                     C          G
Right beside you as long as you want me to be.
              D
There's no question.
            A/C#                Bmin7
There is nothing I've wanted so much in my life.
             C        G             Eb      F              C
This might sound immature but I'm totally sure you're the one."
         D9add4
And we had just begun.


         G                          Fadd9
We got hitched in September, our favorite month,
         C                            G
With a rock band that played in this old synagogue.
         Eb                    Bb
And we bought an apartment on West 17th street
    F                          C
And talked about children and getting a dog.

    A7/C#              Dm
Our first anniversary came in a flash
        F#7sus4                 F#7
And we promised to take the day off.
                 D                  A/C#
He had to stop into his office that morning,
                F#m                    B
And so I went walking uptown to this bakery I know.
         Bb
When I heard on the street what I thought was a joke
         Bm
Till I noticed the sirens and saw all the smoke.
         Bbmaj7
So I'm running back home with this feeling of dread
          A          Bbmaj7        F/G
To the voicemail he left with the last words he said.

      F
I'm sorry,
    Am/E          G(b5)/B      Bbmaj7/C
I don't mean to ruin your evening by
 F           Am/E         D/F#
bringing up all of this stuff.
          D7        Gm        Bb/F   Bbdim/E      A7
You're probably wondering why I even called you tonight.
       Dm             F/C          Bdim        E7
Well today something happened that spooked me alright.
            Gsus2                       D/F#
I saw this storm cloud of papers fall down from the sky,
         Bm7                    E7sus4
And I thought of that day and I started to cry.
 Csus2                           G/B
When as sure as I breath I heard John clear as day saying
A7sus4
"Hey, you're allowed to move on. It's okay.'

           D      A/C#
'Because I'll be here
     Bm                    C           G       D
Even if you decide to get rid of my favorite sweater.
       A/C#                    Bm
Even if you go out on my birthday
                          C      G            Eb            Fsus4       C
This year instead of staying at home letting all of life's moments pass by.
