Silverstein - Je me souviens

^G Dear Mother can you hear my footsteps? ^C# I’m so close,^C# I’m right there. ^A I’m almost ^G#home, so unpre^Bpared To notice ^B yet ignore ^AHow hard it is to ^G#be around you. ^C# I've come clean,^C# I’m washed out. ^A I've flooded the ^G#engine, stranded my^Bself. This home,^B native land ^AThey speak in words I ^G#can’t understand.

^A So when I’m ^Bstanding on this ^G#street like I ^Ehave a ^D#hundred ^Atimes, You don’t ^Beven glance at ^G#me you just pass me by.

^EI remember your fa^D#ce, from the moment ^C#I first saw you I ^Bnever looked a^Away. I’ll never forget ^Ehow you looked that Satur^D#day when you told me ^C#We could never ^Bbe together, and ^AI could never change.

^G Mother, Mother is it you who’s calling? ^C# Lights out,^C# lay down, ^A We’ll sleep when we’re ^G#dead, that time is ^Bnow. But soft speak ^B will drown out ^AHow I can’t do what’s ^G#right around you. ^C# Cold breeze,^C# no coat, ^A Excuses ^G#used to take words from my ^Bthroat. False hope ^B confirmed. ^ADeceits a language ^G#I can’t hope to ^Alearn.

So when I’m ^Bstanding on this ^G#street like I ^Ehave a ^D#hundred ^Atimes, We will ^Bcelebrate the ^G#years you stalled and couldn't decide.

^EI remember your fa^D#ce, from the moment ^C#I first saw you I ^Bnever looked a^Away. I’ll never forget ^Ehow you looked that Satur^D#day when you told me ^C#We could never ^Bbe together, and ^AI could never change.

^C# I used to believe that every ^C#person had a purpose In this ^C#swirling ball of indecision ^Bthat consumes us all. ^C# I used to believe that every ^C#person had a person They could ^C#always count on and not be scared of, ^Bone for everyone.

^A So when I’m ^Bstanding on this ^G#street like I ^Ehave a ^D#hundred ^Atimes, Can I ^Bwalk away and ^G#finally leave, ^G#finally leave all of this behind?

^EI remember your fa^D#ce, from the moment ^C#I first saw you I ^Bnever looked a^Away. I’ll never forget ^Ehow you looked that Satur^D#day when you told me ^C#We could never ^Bbe together, and ^AI could never change.

^EI remember your fa^D#ce, from the moment ^C#I first saw you I ^Bnever looked a^Away. I’ll never forget ^Ehow you looked that Satur^D#day when you told me C#~ B~ A~ We could never be together, and I could never change.
