_ _ _ [F] We met, of all [Em] places, in [Bm] front of _ [Cm] [F] Christie's, some _ [C] freakishly cold [D] winter's day.
[Gm] I had on several _ unflattering [A] layers of wool.
[C] _ He slipped on the ice with [Bm] his grocery [E] bag full.
[G] So I rescued some Froot [D] Loops he dropped by the curb.

And he [D] said, hey, _ whatcha doing _ tomorrow?
_ _ Because _ _ I'll be [A] _ _ here, on [Bm] the corner of Bleeker and [C] Mercer, [G]
tomorrow [D] at seven.
_ _ [A] If you want to meet up, I'll [Bm] be waiting right here.

_ [F] _ Needless [C] to say, I [G] went back [Bb] there to meet [F] him, _ mostly [C] to see if he'd [D] show.

was, out in the cold, with [A] his jacket pulled tight.
He [F] took me to dinner [Bm] and kissed me [E] goodnight.
_ [D] And next week we went to this [A] terrible play.

[C] with a rock band that played in [G] this old synagogue.
_ [Eb] And we bought an apartment [Bb] on West 17th Street
and [F] talked about children [C] and getting a [D] dog. _ _

[D] came in a flash, [Gb] and we promised to take the day off.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] I'm sorry, [C] I don't mean [G] to ruin your [F] evening by bringing up [C] all of [D] this stuff. _

_ Well, [F] today something happened that [Bm] spooked me [E] all right.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
I saw [A] this storm [D] cloud of papers fall down from the sky.
_ _ [B]
And I thought of that day, and I [Em] started to cry.
_ _ [C] When in the showers I breathed, I [G] heard John Clear's day,
saying, [Dm] hey, you're allowed to move on. _ _ _
It's okay, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ because _ I'll be _ _ [A] here. _ _
[G] Even if you _ decide to [C] get rid of [G] my _ [D] favorite sweater. _
_ _ [A] Even if you go out on [Bm] my birthday this year,
[C] instead of sitting [G] at home letting [Eb] all of [F] life's moments [C] pass by. _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] You don't have to cry, _ _ _ _ [Eb] because _ I'll be [Bb] _
here.

_ _ [Db] I will give you my [G]
heart.
_ _ _ _ It has taken so _ long, _ _ but [Eb] I'm ready to [F] start.
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ But right now John's whispering congrats [N] in my ear.
