[Intro] Am  C  G

Am  
After school
C
Walking home
D
Fresh dirt under my fingernails
Am              C
And I can smell hot asphalt
D
Cars screech to a halt to let me pass
Am           C
And I cannot remember
D
What life was like through photographs
Am        C           D  
Trying to recreate images life gives us from our past
Am      C                    D
   And sometimes it's a sad song

[Estribillo]

F             C
But I cannot forget
           Am  
Refuse to regret
       G
So glad I met you and
F             C
Take my breath away
              Am
Make everyday
        G
Worth all of the pain that I have

Gone through

F             C
And mama I've been cryin'
        Am                    G
Cause things ain't how they used to be
F
She said the battles almost won
          E
And we're only several miles from the sun

Am        C
Moving on down the street
D
I see people I won't ever meet
Am           C
Think of her, take a breath
D
Feel the beat in the rhythm of my steps
Am     C                     D
       And sometimes it's a sad song

F             C
But I cannot forget
           Am  
Refuse to regret
       G
So glad I met you and
F             C
Take my breath away
              Am
Make everyday
        G
Worth all of the pain that I have

Gone through

F             C
And mama I've been cryin'
        Am                    G
Cause things ain't how they used to be
F
She said the battles almost won
          E
And we're only several miles from the sun

[Bridge]

Am
Rhythm of the conversation
E
The perfection of her creation
Am
The sex she slipped into my coffee
E
The way she felt when she first saw me
Am
Hate to love and love to hate her
E
Like a broken record player
Am
Back and forth and here and gone
    E
And on and on and on and on!

F             C
I cannot forget
           Am  
Refuse to regret
       G
So glad I met you and
F             C
Take my breath away
              Am
Make everyday
        G
Worth all of the pain that I have

Gone through

F             C
And mama I've been cryin'
        Am                    G
Cause things ain't how they used to be
F
She said the battles almost won
          E
And we're only several miles from the sun
