D
You said "Don't go changing
I'll rearrange to let you in
And I'll be your historian
               G
And you'll be mine
      G        A          D
And I'll fill pages of scribbled ink
 G          A           D
Hoping the words carry meaning"

     D             G
Then one day, the motorcade
 A
Covered in flower wreaths
 G                   D
First in a big parade
      D                  G
Will come to take one of us away
            A                     G   D
Leaving the other with plenty to read

  G       A             D
This is what I want to talk about
     G           A              D
But somehow the words will not leave my mouth
                G              A     G         D
Was I most complete at the beginning or the bow?
                          G
If past you were to meet future me
              Am      G           D
Would you be holding me here and now?
