Chords with lyrics
E MajorE
Sometimes I wish, we had a short term memory
BB E MajorE A augmentedA
Just enough to recognize each other's face
E MajorE BB
It would be the same old stories but you're
BB A augmentedA
Hanging onto every single word I have to say
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
To the world I'm not that clever
BB F#F#
But you would stay with me forever
C majorC D MajorD
I'd keep your friends from reminding
D MajorD
Reminding you to
E MajorE BB
Save yourself, leave me behind
BB E MajorE A augmentedA
You would if you had half a mind
E MajorE
I'd tell you every day's your birthday
BB A augmentedA
And every gift I bring could be the same
A augmentedA E MajorE BB
Or how I stood beside you at a shotgun wedding
BB A augmentedA
And the child we both would love but never came
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
Hearing stories that were never
BB F#F#
You would stay with me forever
C majorC D MajorD
But I'd forget to make money
E MajorE
You'd forget to
E MajorE BB
Save yourself, leave me behind
E MajorE
You would if you had half a mind
A augmentedA
How vulnerable you are
E MajorE
Rob this house and leave me blind
BB A augmentedA
You would if you had half a mind
A augmentedA
How effortless to stay together
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
For these ties you may have severed
BB F#F#
I'll just stay right here forever
C majorC D MajorD
And so you write on your forehead
D MajorD C majorC
Or better yet you engrave
C majorC D MajorD
So when you look in the mirror
D MajorD
Well, you don't forget to
E MajorE BB
Save yourself, leave me behind
BB
You would if you had half a mind
A augmentedA
How vulnerable you are
E MajorE BB
Rob this house and leave me blind
BB A augmentedA
You would if you had half a mind
A augmentedA
How effortless to stay together
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
If we had no memory whatsoever
E MajorE BB F#F#
We would stay right here forever
C majorC D MajorD
You just stay forever
C majorC D MajorD
You just stay forever
End on E MajorE
