[Bm] [F#m] [A]
[G] [D] [A]
[E] [D] [E] [A]
[G] [A] [D]
Please [A] remember me [D] [G] happily [A] by [D]
the [A] rosebush [D] laughing,
we're brooding [Bm] [A] [Bm] the [G] time when we [D] counted every black
[A] up ass [Bm] in your house [A] beneath the hill and [G] up until [D] someone caught [A] us in the kitchen
[Bm]
with maps of mountain [A] range, [G] a piggy bank, a [D] vision [E] to [A] remove dimension,
[D] and please [A] remember me
[G] fondly, [D] I heard from someone you're [A] still pretty
[D] and then they went [A] on to say that the [G] pearly gates [D] have such [A] eloquent graffiti
[Bm] like we'll meet [A] again, and [G] the man, [A] [Em] tell [D] my mother not [A] to [Bm] worry
and the angels [A] with their great [G] handshakes, always [D] done in such a [A] [D] hurry
and please remember [A]
me, that [G] Halloween, [D] making fools [A] of all the neighbors
[D] our faces [A] painted white by [D] [G] midnight, [D] we'd forgotten one [A] another
[Bm] when [E] the [A] morning came, [G] I was ashamed, [E] only now it [F#m] seems so silly
that season left [A] the world [F] and [G] then [D] returned
now you're lit up by the [A] city [D] and please remember [A] me
[E] [G]
mistakenly, [D] in the window of the tallest tower, calling [A] passersby
but [G] much too high to [D] see the empty road at [A] happy [Bm] hour
gleam and [A] resonate, just like [G] the gates
round [D] the holy [A] [Bm] kingdom, with words like [A] lost and found
and [G] don't look down, and [D] someone say [A] temptation
[D] and please [A] remember me, as [G] in the dream
we [D] had us rug [A] burn babies, [D] among the [A] fallen trees
but [G] fast asleep, [D] beside the lions and [A] the [G] ladies that [Bm] call
but [A] you lied, and [G] even might, [D] give a gift for your [A]
behavior
[Bm] a fleeting [A] chance to see, [G] a [D] trapeze
swing her high as any [A]
[D] savior and please [A] remember me
my [G] misery, [D] and how it lost [A] me
all I [D] wanted, those dogs that [A] love the rain
[G] chasing trains, the [D] colored birds [A] above their [Bm] running
in circles, [A] round the well, to [G] where it spills
[D] on the wall [A] behind St.
[Bm] Peter's, so bright
on [A] cinder grain, [G] spray paint
who [D] the hell can see [A] [D] forever and please remember [A] me
[G]
seldomly, [D] in the car [A] behind the [D] carnival
my hands [A] between your knees
you [G] turned from me, [D] said the trapeze [A] act was wonderful
[Bm] but never [A] meant to last, [Am] the [G] clowns that [Em] passed
they saw [D] me just come [A] up with anger when [Bm] it filled [A] the circus door
the [G] parking lot, had an element of danger
and please [A] remember me, [G] finally
and all my [D] uphill clawing, my dear
if [A] I make, [G] the pearly gates
I'll do my best, to make a [D] drawing [E] of [Bm] God
[A] Lucifer, [G] a boy and girl
[A] an angel kissing on a cinder
a monkey and a man
in a marching band
all [Bm] around, a frightened [A] trapeze [Em] swinger
