Memory

G

[Verse 1]

Midnight
                     Em
Not a sound from the pavement
                      C
Has the moon lost her memory
                Bm
Is she smiling alone
       Am                          
In the lamplight the withered 
     Em
leaves collect at my feet
        D      C       G
And the wind begins to moan


[Verse 2]

Memory
                 Em
All alone in the moonlight
                   C
I can smile at the old days
                Bm
I was beautiful then
    Am                         
I remember the time I knew what 
 Em
happiness was
        D      C     G
Let the memory live again

Bm    C          Bm       C
Every streetlamp seems to beat
  Bm  G  A   D        D7
A fatalistic warning
Bm      Em            A
Someone mutters and a streetlamp 
gutters
    Bm           E7 A
And soon it will be morning


[Verse 3]
G
Daylight
                    Em
I must wait for the sunrise
                  C
I must think of a new life
                   Bm
And I mustn't give in
         Am                        
When the dawn comes, tonight will 
    Em
be a memory too
      D       C      G
And a new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smoky days
    Gm         D#    F  A#       A#7
The stale cold smell of morning
  Gm         Cm            F
A streetlamp dies, another night is 
over
 Gm         C7 F
Another day is dawning

Touch me
                Gm
It's so easy to leave me
                   D#
All alone with the memory
                  Dm
Of my days in the sun
             Cm                    
If you touch me, you'll understand
