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.
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.
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,
D G D G
The song remembers when.
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.
A7
Yeah, and even if the whole world has forgotten,
D G D G D
The song remembers when.
