Am Asus2 Fadd#11 Well at this point we could ask who cares Am Asus2 Fadd#11 As for the promises broken and frayed Am Asus2 Fadd#11 Well it’s 19 years late for repairs [Verse 2] G/D Csus4 The grey pewter vase held the deep red rose G/D Csus4 One piece of coral shone white G/D Csus4 By the brass candlestick near your red velvet coat Is everything I can recall of one night [Vocal & Instrumental Solo] Am Asus2 Fadd#11 x4 / Csus4 [Verse 1] Am Asus2 Fadd#11 Will you please tell me why I remember these things Am Asus2 Fadd#11 After all of this time I don’t know Am Asus2 Fadd#11 I must have left all those feelings inside Am Asus2 Fadd#11 Cause that year I had no courage to show [Verse 2] G/D Csus4 Was I the name you could never pronounce? G/D Csus4 Did I even figure at all? G/D Csus4 All of this happened before she was born Did I shadow her young pencil marks on the wall [Verse 1] Am Asus2 Fadd#11 Still I am sure I was only but one Am Asus2 Fadd#11 Of a number who darkened that door Am Asus2 Fadd#11 Of your home and your heart and your family and wife Am Asus2 Fadd#11 Who’d been darkened so often before [Verse 2] G/D Csus4 And the red leaf it looks to the hard gray stone G/D Csus4 To each other they know what they mean G/D Csus4 Somewhere their future is still yet to come In ways that are yet as of now unforeseen [Outro] Am Asus2 Fadd#11 x2 / Csus4
