Chords for Emmy the Great First Love

_ _ I [B] remember how [C] we met, [F] but your name [G] I forget
[A] Like the door [C] that I have kept [G] unopened
[E] _ I remember [C] it was wet, and [F] the swelter, and [G] the sweat
And the shelter of the bed we were cloaked in
[E] _ [C] You were stroking me like a pet, [A] but you didn't [G] own me yet
[C] And the tape in the cassette deck was choking
_ _ [E] Spat out a broken hallelujah
[Bm] _ [C] But _
[F] _ [G] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ I've [A] seen the way the [C] earth throws its aces with a [G] curve
You were [A] waiting for the word [G] to come to ya
[E] Just [A] to say that you [C] prefer to [F] be lonely, to [G] be cursed
[A] And to do the [C] very worst [G] you can do
[E] Yeah, [C] I remember you like a verse [Am] that I didn't want to learn
[C] I just looked into your eyes, [E] and I knew ya
[F] Now the thought [C] of you has burned [Am] on my body from the first [C] time
You could rewind that line from [E] hallelujah
_ The original, let it [Am] come back
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[F] Well, I wish that I never met you the [Am] day you said I have a [C] room, I have music to play
I don't let me show you the [Am] way, I wish that [C] I'd never come
But now that I have, I would do it [Am] again
And I would forget [C] like I'd piss on a [F] grave
I would forget [C] like I'd piss on a grave
[Am] How the words, they came [C] to my tongue, but [F] hallelujah Hallelujah
_ _ [C] _ _ [Am] And the sky was so much [C] bluer _ _
[F] Hallelujah
_ _ [C] Hallelujah
_ [Am] And the world was so [C] much newer
_ [F] Said I have a room, top of the [Am] stair, I have a room [G] with a view
I [F] _
[C] have a cross that we bear, and I'd like [G] to show it to you _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _
[F] _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _
[E] _ _ _ [F] And you left me [C] in the light, [Am] and you met me [G] in the light
[F] And we only [C] had a night [E] between the two
_ [G] You were waiting [C] for the worst, [Am] you were listening [G] for a cut
[F] But the only [C] thing I heard [E] was hallelujah _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] Hallelujah
_ _ [C] Hallelujah _
[Am] And the sky was so [C] much bluer
[F] Hallelujah
_ _ _ [C] Hallelujah _
[Am] And the world was so [C] much newer _
[F] Said I have a room, [C] top of the stair, [Am] I have a room with [G] a view
[F] I know we all have [C] a cross that we bear, and [Am] I'd like to [G] give it to you
And [F] I won't forget how the sky [Am] was set, said I have a [G] place to go back to
[Fm] La la la, [C] I won't have you yet, I will [Am] carry you there if I have [F] to
_ _ [Am] _
_ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] And [F] I won't [C] forget, no I [G] won't, no I won't forget
[Am] No I won't, no [C] I won't [Am] forget
No I won't, no I won't [C] forget
No [E] I won't, won't, won't, _ _ won't
Cross my heart _ _
