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

Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
F G
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
C Am
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
F G
It was rare, you remember it
C Am
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
F G
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
C Am
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
F G
It was rare, you remember it
[Fade Out]
C Am
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
F G
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
C Am
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
F G
It was rare, you remember it
C Am
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
F G
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there

Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
F G
It was rare, you remember it
C Am F
