We met of all places, in front of Gristedes, some freakishly cold winters day
Gm A D4 Bm7
I had on several unflattering layers of wool, he slipped on the ice with his grocery bags full
G Bm
So I rescued some fruit loops he dropped by the curb
G Bm
And he made some remark that my smile was superb
C9 Bm D/A A
I thought that was sweet and I started to go and he said, &ldquo Hey, whatcha doing tomorrow?&rdquo
D A Bm G D
Because I'll be here, at the corner of Bleaker and Mercer tomorrow at seven
A Bm
If you want to meet up, I'll be waiting right here
C G Eb F C
And in case there are two fellas waiting for you, my name's John
F C/E G/B C F C/E F# C9
He waved and then he was gone
F C F D/F#
Needless to say I went back there to meet him, mostly to see if he'd show, and there he was
Gm A D4 Bm7
Out in the cold with his jacket pulled tight, He took me to dinner and kissed me goodnight
G Bm G Bm
The next week we went to this terrible play, and the week after that drank hot chocolate all day
C9 Bm
And suddenly eight or nine months had flown by, when he said
D/A A
"Hey, what-cha doing the rest of your life?'
D A Bm G D
Because I'll be here, right beside you as long as you want me to be, there's no question
A Bm
There is nothing I've wanted so much in my life
C G Eb F C
This might sound immature, but I'm totally sure you're the one, and we had just begun
G F
We got hitched in September, our favourite month
C G
With a rock band that played in this old synagogue
Eb Bb
And we bought an apartment on West 17th street
F C
And talked about children and getting a dog
A Bb7M F#7(4)
Our first anniversary came in a flash, and we promised to take the day off
D F#m D B(11)
He had to stop into his office that morning, and so I went walking uptown to this bakery I know
Bb C
When I heard on the street what I thought was a joke
Bm
Till I noticed the sirens and saw all the smoke
Bb
So I'm running back home with this feeling of dread
A7 Bb Dm7 A(b9)
To the voicemail he left&hellip with the last words he said
F C F D/F#
I'm sorry, I don't mean to ruin your evening by bringing up all of this stuff
Gm A
You're probably wondering why I even called you tonight
Dm Bm7sus4
G2 Asus4/F#
I saw this storm cloud of papers fall down from the sky
Bm7 E7(4)
And I thought of that day and I started to cry
C9 Bm7
When as sure as I breath I heard John clear as day saying
D/A A
"Hey, you're allowed to move on, it's okay.&rdquo
D A Bm G D
Because I'll be here, even if you decide to get rid of my favourite sweater
A Bm
Even if you go out on my birthday this year
C G Eb F C D D4
Instead of sitting at home letting all of life's moments pass by, You don't have to cry
Eb Bb Cm7 Ab Eb
Because I'll be here, when you start going back to the places we went to together
Bb Cm7
When you take off my ring and you let yourself smile
Ab7M Cm7
When you meet some handsome and patient and true
Ab7M Cm7
When he says that he wants to be married to you
Ab7M Cm7
When you call him one night and he meets you downtown
Abmaj7 Fm7 Eb/G (3x534) Eb#5/G (3x544x)
Bm7(b5) Cm7 Eb/G Cm7
It has taken so long, but I'm ready to start. Right now John's whispering congrats in my ear
Ab7M Bb4 Eb Ab Bb Eb
Cause I finally let myself tell you, that I will be here
