I was hers 
E            A  A/B 
And you were his 
E            A   A/B 
The night we met 
E       A       A/B 
Out on that bridge 
E            A   A/B 
If you knew then 
E            A   A/B 
What I know now 
E         A  A/B    
Love put down 
E          A    
Gets up  somehow  
E         A   A/B 
The comet came 
E             A    A/B 
And the comet went 
E             A   A/B 
And hid it's face 
E           A   A/B 
In the firmament 
E        A A/B E           A   A/B 
I looked once  then turned away 
E        A  A/B E               A    A/B 
I looked again  it was much too late  
B               C#m B  A 
A summer wind a cotton dress 
E       A     C#m B        A      
This is how I remember you best  
B                        C#m  B  A 
A glance held long and a stolen kiss 
E        A    C#m  B       E     A   A/B  E   A A/B 
This is how I remember you best 
E          A  A/B  E             A   A/B 
The fool I was     is the fool I am 
E          A  A/B  E            A  A/B 
I've got a wife    I'm a family man 
E      A  A/B  E      A    A/B        
When I lay     in our bed 
E           A  A/B E               A    A/B 
I sometimes dream  I'm holding you instead 
B               C#m B  A 
A summer wind a cotton dress 
E       A     C#m B        A      
This is how I remember you best  
B                        C#m  B  A 
A glance held long and a stolen kiss 
E        A    C#m  B       E      
This is how I remember you best 
 
SOLO 
 
E            A   A/B 
The kids are fine 
E               A    A/B 
They're six and nine 
E             A  A/B   E       A    A/B 
I think you'd probably like my wife  
E           A A/B  E           A  A/B 
The kitchen light  is much too bright   
E          A  A/B         E        A    A/B 
For what I find    myself thinking tonight 
B               C#m B  A 
A summer wind a cotton dress 
E       A     C#m B        A      
This is how I remember you best  
B                        C#m  B  A 
A glance held long and a stolen kiss 
E        A    C#m  B       E     A   A/B  E 
This is how I remember you best
