INTRO: 
   (F)   (A#)   (F)   (A#)   (F) 
 
VERSE 1: 
I was (C7)standing at the counter, 
I was (C7)waiting for the change, 
When I (C7)heard that old familiar music (F)start. 
It was (C7)like a lighted match, 
had been (C7)tossed into my soul, 
It was (C7)like a dam had broken in my (F)heart. 
 
After (A#)taking every detour, 
Gettin' (A#)lost and losin' track, 
So that (F)even if I wanted, 
I could (F)not find my way back. 
After (A#)drivin' out the memory, 
Of the (A#)way things might have been, 
After (C7)I'd forgotten all about us, 
The song remembers (F)when.  (A#) 
 
 
VERSE 2: 
We were (C7)rollin' through the Rockies, 
We were (C7)up above the clouds, 
When a (C7)station out of Jackson played that (F)song. 
And it (C7)seemed to fit the moment, 
And the (C7)moment seemed to freeze, 
When we (C7)turned the music up and sang a-(F)long. 
 
And there (A#)was a God in Heaven, 
And the (A#)world made perfect sense, 
We were (F)young and were in love, 
And we were (F)easy to convince. 
We were (A#)headed straight for Eden, 
It was (A#)just around the bend, 
And (C7)though I have forgotten all about it, 
The song remembers (F)when. 
 
 
BRDIGE: 
I guess (A#)something must have happened, 
And we (A#)must have said good-(Dm)bye. 
And my (G7)heart must have been broken, 
Though (C7)I can't recall just why, (m.c.) 
The song remembers (F)when.  (A#)  (F)  (A#) 
 
 
VERSE 3: 
Well, for (C7)all the miles between us, 
And for (C7)all the time that's past, 
You would (C7)think I haven't gotten very (F)far. 
And I (C7)hope my hasty heart, 
Will for-(C7)give me just this once, 
If I (C7)stop to wonder how on earth (F)you are. 
 
But that's (A#)just a lot of water, 
Under-(A#)neath a bridge I burned, 
And there's (F)no use in backtracking, 
Around (F)corners I have turned. 
Still I (A#)guess some things we bury, 
Are just (A#)bound to rise again, 
For (C7)even if the whole world has forgotten, 
The song remembers (F)when. 
 
 
ENDING: 
Yeah, and (C7)even if the whole world has forgotten, (n.c.) 
The song remembers (F)when.  (A#)  (F)  (A#)  (F)
