[C] [Gadd11] [Am] [Fsus2]
Verse 1
[C] [Gadd11]
I walked through the door with you, the air was cold
[Am] [Fsus2]
But somethin' 'bout it felt like home somehow
[C] [Gadd11]
And I left my scarf there at your sister's house
[Am] [Fsus2]
And you've still got it in your drawer, even now
Interlude
[C] [Gadd11] [Am] [Fsus2]
Verse 2
[C] [Gadd11]
Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze
[Am] [Fsus2]
We're singing in the car, getting lost upstate
[C] [Gadd11]
Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place
[Am] [Fsus2]
And I can picture it after all these days
Pre-Chorus
[C]
And I know it's long gone and
[Gadd11]
That magic's not here no more
[Am] [Gadd11]
And I might be okay, but I'm not fine at all
[Fsus2] [Gadd11] [Fsus2/C] [Gadd11]
Oh, oh, oh
Chorus
[C] [Gadd11]
'Causе there we arе again on that little town street
[Am] [Fsus2]
You almost ran the red 'cause you were lookin' over at me
[C]
Wind in my hair, I was there
[Gadd11] [Am] [Fsus2]
I remember it all too well
Verse 3
[C] [Gadd11]
Photo album on the counter, your cheeks were turning red
[Am] [Fsus2]
You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized bed
[C] [Gadd11]
And your mother's telling stories 'bout you on the tee-ball team
[Am] [Fsus2]
You taught me 'bout your past, thinking your future was me
[C]
And you were tossing me the car keys
[Gadd11] [Am]
"Fuck the patriarchy" keychain on the ground
[Fsus2]
We were always skipping town
[C]
And I was thinking on the drive down
[Gadd11] [Am]
Any time now, he's gonna say it's love
[Fsus2]
You never called it what it was
[C]
'Til we were dead and gone and buried
[Gadd11]
Check the pulse and come back
[Am]
Swearing it's the same
[Fsus2]
After three months in the grave
[C]
And then you wondered where it went to
[Gadd11]
As I reached for you
[Am]
But all I felt was shame
[Fsus2]
And you held my lifeless frame
Pre-Chorus
[C]
And I know it's long gone and
[Gadd11]
There was nothing else I could do
[Am]
And I forget about you long enough
[Gadd11] [Fsus2] [Gadd11] [C] [Gadd11]
To forget why I needed to
Chorus
[C] [Gadd11]
'Cause here we are again in the middle of the night
[Am] [Fsus2]
We're dancing 'round the kitchen in the refrigerator light
[C]
Down the stairs, I was there
[Gadd11] [Am] [Fsus2]
I remember it all too well
[C]
And there we are again
[Gadd11]
When nobody had to know
[Am]
You kept me like a secret
[Fsus2]
But I kept you like an oath
[C]
Sacred prayer and we'd swear
[Gadd11] [Am] [Fsus2]
To remember it all too well, yeah
Instrumental
[C] [Gadd11] [Am] [Fsus2] [Gadd11] [Gadd11]
Bridge
[C]
Well maybe we got lost in translation
[Gadd11]
Maybe I asked for too much
[Am]
But maybe this thing was a masterpiece
[Fsus2]
'Til you tore it all up
[C]
Running scared, I was there
[Gadd11] [Am] [Fsus2]
I remember it all too well
[C]
And you call me up again
[Gadd11]
Just to break me like a promise
[Am] [Fsus2]
So casually cruel in the name of being honest
[C] [Gadd11]
I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
[Am] [Fsus2]
'Cause I remember it all, all, all
Verse 4
[C]
They say "All's well that ends well"
[Gadd11] [Am]
But I'm in a new hell every time
[Fsus2]
You double-cross my mind
[C] [Gadd11]
You said if we had been closer in age
[Am]
Maybe it would have been fine
[Fsus2]
And that made me want to die
[C]
The idea you had of me, who was she?
[Gadd11] [Am]
A never-needy, ever lovely jewel
[Fsus2]
Whose shine reflects on you
[C]
Not weeping in a party bathroom
[Gadd11]
Some actress asking me what happened
[Am]
You
[Fsus2]
That's what happened: you
[C] [Gadd11]
You, who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes
[Am] [Fsus2]
Sipping coffee like you were on a late night show
[C]
But then he watched me watch the front door
[Gadd11]
all night, willing you to come
[Am]
And he said, "it's supposed to be fun…
[Fsus2]
Turning 21"
Interlude
[C] [Gadd11] [Am] [Fsus2]
Verse 5
[C] [Gadd11]
Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it
[Am] [Fsus2]
I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it
[C] [Gadd11]
After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own
[Am] [Fsus2]
Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone
[C] [Gadd11]
But you keep my old scarf from that very first week
[Am] [Fsus2]
'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me
[C]
You can't get rid of it
[Gadd11] [Am] [Fsus2]
'Cause you remember it all too well, yeah
Chorus
[C] [Gadd11]
'Cause there we are again when I loved you so
[Am] [Fsus2]
Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known
[C]
It was rare, I was there
[Gadd11] [Am] [Fsus2]
I remember it all too well
[Post-Chorus]
[C]
Wind in my hair, you were there
[Gadd11]
You remember it all
[Am]
Down the stairs, you were there
[Fsus2]
You remember it all
[C]
It was rare, I was there
[Gadd11] [Am] [Fsus2]
I remember it all too well
Verse 6
[C]
And I was never good at telling jokes
[Am]
But the punchline goes:
[Fsus2] [Gadd11]
"I'll get older, but your lovers stay my age"
[C] [Am]
From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones
[Fsus2] [Gadd11]
I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight
[C] [Am]
And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue?
[Fsus2] [Gadd11]
Just between us, did the love affair maim you too?
[Fsus2] [Fsus2]
Cause in this city's barren cold
[Gadd11] [Gadd11]
I still remember the first fall of snow
[Fsus2]
And how it glistened as it fell
[Fsus2] [C] [Am]
I remember it all too well
[Fsus2] [Gadd11]
Just between us did the love affair maim you
[C] [Am]
All too well
[Fsus2] [Gadd11]
Just between us, do you remember it
[C] [Am]
All too well
[Fsus2] [Gadd11] [C]
Just between us, I remember it all too well
Outro
([C]) [Am]
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
[Fsus2] [Gadd11]
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
[C] [Am]
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
[Fsus2] [Gadd11]
It was rare, you remember it (all too well)
[C] [Am]
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
[Fsus2] [Gadd11]
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
[C] [Am]
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there

[C] [Am]
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
[Fsus2] [Gadd11]
It was rare, you remember it
[C] [Am]
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
[Fsus2] [Gadd11]
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
[C] [Am]
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
[Fsus2] [Gadd11]
It was rare, you remember it
[C] [Am]
