[Gm] _ _ _ I like the powder blue dress, [Eb] _ the stewardess is well on [Gm] Korean and Asian, the skin's divine
and their [C] bodies [Cm] so fine, they're [Gm] all the same height and they have the same waistline,
[Bb] there is one who stood [Eb] apart, her name tag read J [Gm].H. Park, she had a [Bb] white watch and [Cm] a muted spark,
I [Eb] thought about her when the night [F] grew dark, in [Gm] my hotel [Cm] room in Tokyo, [G] and by the time that [F] I awoke,
my guitar [Gm] was broken and in need of [Cm] repair, _ thanks for the hassles, Korean,
[F] _ but [Gm] I hurled [C] myself to one [Cm] last show, and I [F] made a few friends, Shoko and Ko,
_ walked them [Gm] down to the train station [Cm] below, _ hugged them [F] goodbye as I walked back,
_ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ [Gm] _ _ remembered a girl who I'd lost, [Eb] she grew up in cardboard [Gm] box, in a town called [Eb] Dharma,
_ [Gm] she shook my spirit and she rattled my thigh, but I had some love [Eb] back home, so I never
suited or called her [Gm] telephone, I wonder if she [Cm] knew that I'd lose, I wonder if she thought that
[F] I'd use, [Gm] and by the time that [Cm] I awoke, around my neck, I felt fingers [F] choke, I [Gm] felt a jolt of an
electric [Cm] sting, felt [Gm] the pull of an invisible [F] string, _ [Gm] is it my future [Cm]
falling, _ or is it the
past I'm recalling, [F] I can't [Gm] remember and you can't make me [Eb] remember, anything that [Bb] hurts makes me
sure, I can't remember and you can't [Cm] make me remember, [Gm] my dirty [F] reflection [Bb]
shimmering in the
river, I can't remember and you can't [Cm] make me [Gm] remember, old [F] forgotten glue to [Bb]
reopen my heart,
I can't remember and you can't [Cm] make me remember, [Gm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _
_ I can't remember and you can't [Cm] make me remember.

_ [Gm] _ I [Bb] wrote poetry [Eb] throughout my teens and I far [Gm] exceeded my childhood.
_ _ [Bb] Teachers told me I [Eb] couldn't write, that [Gm] I'd never make a living or touch anyone's land.
People told me I [Eb] couldn't sing, that [Dm] I wouldn't amount to much of [F] anything.
_ _ [Gm] By the time that [Cm] I awoke, I was 25 [F] years old and crossing English.
[Gm] Working hard to develop [Eb] my sound, going city to city, _ [F] covering land.
_ [Gm] By the time that [Cm] I had awoken, I was wanting a handful _ [F] of jewels.
_ [Gm] Take the pumps, take the [Eb] arrows, the blood [Bb] _
of spares.
I can't remember and you [Cm] can't make me [Gm] remember any [F] hurtful words that [Bb] I endured.
I can't remember and you [Cm] can't make me [Eb] remember when I [F] was a lost [Bb] flockless bird.
I can't remember [Cm] and you can't make me remember [Gm] when I [F] couldn't track _
[Bb] Bumblebee.
I can't remember [Cm] and you can't make me [A] remember why [Gm] in [F] a crowd I [Bb] am [Eb] so alone.

_ _ I met the most beautiful love _ walking _ along the San Francisco.
_ She guides me through the [C] peril, [Eb] _ _ through the long unlit [Gm] hallways.
Below [Bb] the surface, beneath the [Eb] distraction, [Gm] beneath my dummy jerk reactions.
It's to her I owe [Cm] everything.
[Gm] It is for her that my heart sings.
_ And [Bb] by the time that I [Eb] awoke, _ [Gm] fingers loosened on the edge.
And by [Bb] the time that [C] I awoke.
