[Am] _ That were in [G] years long _ gone
[F] Still is clear [C] upon my memory _
As the numbers [G] on my _ _ arm. _
[Am] What will become of [G] all the memories? _
[Am] Are they to scatter [G] with the dust in the breeze?
[F] Who'll stand before the [C] world knowing what to say
When the very last survivor _ _ _
[G] fades away? _ _ _ _
[Am] When I hold my grandson [G] close to me
[Am] And his fingers trace the pattern [G] of my tears
[F] He asks me, Zayden, tell me [C] why do you cry?
What is it [G] that you fear? _ _

[Am] Who smelled this weed and [G] felt this warm _

[G] And only I remain to _ _ _ mourn.
[Am] What will become of [G] all the _ memories?
