Am7          C
After school, walkin’ home
D
Fresh dirt under my fingernails and
Am7        C
I can smell hot asphalt
D
Cars screech to a halt to let me pass
Am7       C
And I cannot remember
  D
What life was like through photographs
Am7         C        D
And trying to recreate images
life gives us from the past
Am7 C                     D
     And sometimes its a sad song, but I

Chorus:
Fmaj7      C                Am7
Cannot forget, refuse to regret
           G
So glad I met you and
Fmaj7            C
Take my breath away
          Am7
Make everyday worth
all of the pain that I've gone through
Fmaj7     C
And mama, I've been cryin'
        Am7                  G
‘cause things ain't how they used to be
              Fmaj7
She said: 'The battle's almost won
          Bm7-5         E
And we're only several miles from the sun'.

Now I'm movin on, down my street
I see people I won't ever meet
I think of her, take a breath
Feel the beat in the rhythm of my steps
And sometimes its a sad song, but I

Chorus

Am7
Rhythm of the conversation
E7
The perfection of her creation
Am7
The sex she slipped into my coffee
E7
The way she felt when she first saw me
Am7
Hate to love and love to hate her
E7
Like a broken record player
Am7
Back and forth and here and gone
    E7
and on and on and on and on!

Chorus
