INTRO: D G D G D VERSE 1: A7 I was standing at the counter, A7 I was waiting for the change, A7 D When I heard that old familiar music start. A7 It was like a lighted match, A7 had been tossed into my soul, A7 D It was like a dam had broken in my heart. G After taking every detour, G Gettin' lost and losin' track, D So that even if I wanted, D I could not find my way back. G After drivin' out the memory, G Of the way things might have been, A7 After I'd forgotten all about us, D G The song remembers when. VERSE 2: A7 We were rollin' through the Rockies, A7 We were up above the clouds, A7 D When a station out of Jackson played that song. A7 And it seemed to fit the moment, A7 And the moment seemed to freeze, A7 D When we turned the music up and sang along. G And there was a God in Heaven, G And the world made perfect sense, D We were young and were in love, D And we were easy to convince. G We were headed straight for Eden, G It was just around the bend, A7 A And though I have forgotten all about it, D The song remembers when. BRDIGE: G I guess something must have happened, G Bm And we must have said good-bye. E7 And my heart must have been broken, A7 Though I can't recall just why, NC D G D G The song remembers when. VERSE 3: A7 Well, for all the miles between us, A7 And for all the time that's past, A7 D You would think I haven't gotten very far. A7 And I hope my hasty heart, A7 Will forgive me just this once, A7 D If I stop to wonder how on earth you are. G But that's just a lot of water, G Underneath a bridge I burned, D And there's no use in backtracking, D Around corners I have turned. G Still I guess some things we bury, G Are just bound to rise again, A7 For even if the whole world has forgotten, D The song remembers when. ENDING: A7 Yeah, and even if the whole world has forgotten, NC D G D G D The song remembers when.
