Capo 2
(Song can be done without capo, just transpose chords. A=B, B=C#, F#=G#, E=F#. I just
it to make more open chords for easier playing.)
AMy windowB pane was leaking glass,
ACut my arBm and then you laughed.
IA jumped fBrom just one story high,
AAnd now IB'm stuck here 'til I die.
ANow I'mB stuck here 'til I die.
ANow I'mB stuck here 'til I die.
ADon't you remember me?
BI swear I kAnew you when I knew you there.
We loved and learned unBder the sun.
We had morAe fun than anyone.
She's eight yBears old and moving out.
She's halfAway 'cross the country now.
She's smBarter than alot of us.
She doesn'At break or bend or fuss.
Maybe she's in heaven now,
Or maybe she's back here somehow.
She's wearing all the finest clothes,
And draped in jewelry head to toe.
It is impossible to know,
There is no ending to the show.
The grand finale, big hoorah.
One day we're here the next we're not.
AOh, looF#k what I've done here.
AOh, looF#k what I've done here.
Let these thoughtEs creep in.
Let 'em seep rF#ight in.
Let these thougEhts creep in.
F# E (hold)
Let 'em seep right in.
AI hope she doBesn't have to see,
What becAame of her family.
Her fathBer left after she died.
A (block)
Her brothers cried and cried and cried.
She took Byour man, I took your name.
The miraAcle that never came.
But oh, hBer life is beautiful.
She'll live Athrough me and live through you.
I used to sing you lullabies.
I'd hold you when you'd start to cry.
I was your mother and your friend,
And she remembered me from then.
I was your mother and your friend.
Don't you remember me from then?
