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.
