_ _ _ _ _ [F] I was reminded one night [B] back when I was in college me and a couple of my buddies went to
_ [Bbm] the drive-in theater and
_ _ _ [Dm] You know and they had like [A] three things that were playing
I don't know what they were playing
but I know the last thing that [Bbm] must come on like, you know, like one o'clock in the morning or something [A] was
_ _ something like
_ _ the story of the Bible _
[E] It wasn't [Db] like you know, it's like some [Bbm] Mexican production
I've never seen
[Db] _ _ [B] We figured that you know, we [Db] maybe a little bit some nudity we'll get to see you know
[Bm] _
_ _ [Bb] Early early [Bm] Bible stuff.
So
_ _ _ _ We [Bbm] started to stick around for it and so [Db] anyway the movie opens up with these really, [Eb] you know, heavenly great things
_ quoting from Genesis, you [A] know and _ God said
[Bbm] Let [Db] there be light, you know and _
[F] and God said, [Db] you know
This goes on about like [F] two more things and
_ _ God [Dm] said
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ Everybody went to the snack [Gb] bar.
You don't ignore God when he talks like that you get your bite to [Ab] the snack bar
_ _ _ _ _ [Fm] I
Believe this is a for my last song is a [B] song.
I'm probably most known [Abm] for _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ Many [F] feel it is the [B] greatest song ever
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [Gb] _ [Bbm] I
_ [D] _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gbm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Db] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bbm] _ _ Was waiting _ _ _ _ _ for the change when I heard that old familiar [Ab] music star
_ _ _ _ It was like [Ebm] a light match
Had been [Bbm] tossed into my soul.
It was like a damn
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ After _ taking every detour
[Db] _ Getting [Ab] lost in losing track _
So that even if I wanted I could not find my way back
after [Db]
driving out the memory of the way things might have been
_ [Eb] After I'd forgotten all about us
_ [Bbm] _ Remember
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
We _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] were rolling through the Rockies we were up above the clouds
_ When a station [Eb] out of Jackson played that song
[Ab] _ _
_ _ And [Bbm] it seemed to fit the moment [Ab] and the moment seemed to freeze
[Bbm] _
when we turned the music up and
_ [Ab]
And _ _ _ _ there was a God in [Db] heaven _ and the [Ab] world made perfect sense
[Db] We were [Ab] young and were in love [Eb] and we were easy [Ab] to convince
We [Db] were headed straight for Eden _
It was just around the bend _ _
No, [Bbm] I have forgotten
[Eb] _ _ _ _
The [Db] song [Ab] remembers when I _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Guess something must have happened and we must [Fm] have said goodbye _ _ _
_ [Bbm] And my heart must have been broken though.
I [Ab] [Bbm] can't [Eb] recall just why
[Bbm] _ _ _ the [Db]
song [Ab] remembers when _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I
For [Eb] all the miles [Bbm] between us and for all the time that's passed
You would [Eb] think I haven't gotten [Ab] very far
_ _ _ _ And I hope [Bbm] my hasty heart will [Eb] forgive me justice once
If I stop to wonder how on earth you [Ab] are _ _ _
_ But that's just a lot of water
_ Underneath the bridge I heard and there's no use in backtracking around corners.
I have turned
Still I [Db] guess some things we bury _ are just bound to rise again
_ [Eb] Or even if the whole world has forgotten
_ the song _ [Ab] remembers when _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
He [Eb] had if the whole world has forgotten
So
_ [Bbm] I [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ hate _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [C] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [D] _ [A] you. _ _
[Bm] I hate you [D] Hugh [F] Preston _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Db] That _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Fm] _ [Gb] is [C] that [E] is
This [Bbm]
song ever
[C] _ _ _ [F] _ [Db] _ [Em] _
_ [Db] _ [Em] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [A] Big songwriters all have [E] whenever they hear [Gb] once in a [E] while
You're on the radio or you hear a song on the radio and you have never heard one.
It's so great
You can't believe it and I [B] have like I think a [Em] lot of writers.
I have two reactions
[B] You know what?
Wow, I'm the only son of a bitch
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ I
That _ _ _ [D] is
_ _ _ _ _ Did you laugh [F] out loud when you came [E] up with _ we were young
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
Did you just like _ [Bm] _
did you say I want to kiss myself
_ [F] _ _
[C] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Db] Just I was impressed
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Alright _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
