[Intro]
Am Asus2 Fadd#11 x4
G/D Csus4 E
[Verse 1]
Am Asus2 Fadd#11
The reproach on your daughter's most beautiful face
Am Asus2 Fadd#11
Made me wonder just how she could know
Am Asus2 Fadd#11
Of that something that happened between you and me
Am Asus2 Fadd#11
So much more than a long time ago
[Verse 2]
Her G/Dmother, I can see, lives witCsus4hin her still
Cause G/Dshe looked at me with her Csus4eyes
G/DThough I had only just Csus4met her right then
I Efeel that she peeled back my guilty disguise
[Instrumental]
Am Asus2 Fadd#11 x2
[Verse 1]
Am Asus2 Fadd#11
Did I break the thread, or did you break the thread?
Am Asus2 Fadd#11
Well at this point we could ask who cares
Am Asus2 Fadd#11
As for the promises broken and frayed
Am Asus2 Fadd#11
Well it's 19 years late for repairs
[Verse 2]
The G/Dgrey pewter vase held the Csus4deep red rose,
G/D One piece of coral sCsus4hone white,
By the G/Dbrass candlestick near your Csus4red velvet coat,
Is Eeverything I can recall of one night
[Vocal & Instrumental Solo]
Am Asus2 Fadd#11 x4
G/D Csus4 E
[Verse 1]
Am Asus2 Fadd#11
Will you please tell me why I remember these things
Am Asus2 Fadd#11
After all of this time, I don't know
Am Asus2 Fadd#11
I must have left all those feelings inside
Am Asus2 Fadd#11
Cause that year I had no courage to show
[Verse 2]
G/D Was I the name you could Csus4never pronounce?
G/DDid I even figure at Csus4all?
G/DAll of this happened beCsus4fore she was born
Did I Eshadow her young pencil marks on the wall
[Verse 1]
Am Asus2 Fadd#11
Still I am sure I was only but one
Am Asus2 Fadd#11
Of a number who darkened that door
Am Asus2 Fadd#11
Of your home and your heart and your family and wife
Am Asus2 Fadd#11
Who'd been darkened so often before
[Verse 2]
And the G/Dred leaf it looks to the Csus4hard gray stone
To each G/Dother they know what theyCsus4 mean
G/DSomewhere their future is Csus4still yet to come
In Eways that are yet as of now unforeseen
[Outro]
Am Asus2 Fadd#11 x2
G/D Csus4 E
