I always thought that the word record was [F#]
a great word for it, meaning like a record of events.
I still call them records even if they're CDs, you know, because it's a record of events.
Like that great line in the Leonard Cohen song, you know, in [C#] Famous William Fowler,
I hope you're keeping some kind of [A] record.

[B]
[A] Something thrown that it missed
[B]
And [E] there were other holes as well
[C#m] In that house where our nights fell
[E] Far too [A] many [Bm] to relive
In the time that we [B] were there
[E] People speak of love, don't know what that thing [C#m] is for
Reach out to each other through the push and [A] shove
Speak in terms [Bm] of life and the life
[A] Try to think [B] of a word for the burning
[E] Keep
[C#m]
[A] it up, [Bm] you try so [A] hard

And [A] dropped it into the [Bm] water
I [A] let it go into the [Bm] forest

Speak in terms [Bm] of life and [A] [B] the words were [E] forgiving
[C#m]
[A] Keep it up, [B] you try so [A] hard
Keep the life [C#] from coming apart
[A] You never [C#] know the shallow [A] and the unseen
