Intro:

{ Dm Am ) x2
Dm/a Am
I can remember it so well,
Dm/a Am
the bed of roses where we lay,
Dm/a G Gm
the crown of thorns I was so keen to give away.
Gm7 Bb
All the warning signs ignored,
Asus4 A
the passion's played.
Dm/a Am
I could foresee what was to come,
Dm/a Am
I had a sense of what might happen.
Dm/a G
The river runs and very rapidly
Gm Gm7
becomes a torrent, sweeping us
Bb Asus4 A
Towards our ricochet.
F6* Em7 C
It takes a lifetime to unravel all the threads
Bb* Bb Asus4 A
that have tied us in our webs of tourniquet.
Bridge:
Em(= e-b-e) A Em F/c Bb/bb Gm7 Asus4 A
Dm/a Am
I stake no claim on memory.
Dm/a Am
I stand on ceremonial quicksand.
Dm/a G
I look for something with solidity
Gm
to hold:
Gm7 Bb Asus4 A
something lasting, something pristine, with no sense of decay.
Em(= e-b-e) A
Can you remember how that was?
Em
Can you remember?
F6* Em7 C
It takes a lifetime's understanding of the flow
F Bb Asus4 A
to surrender, let the current sweep you away.
Dm C
What if I'd told you I would never let you go,
Bb Asus4 A
I would hold you every step along the way.
F6* Em7 C
It takes a lifetime to unlearn all that you know
F Bb A
to return the things you borrowed for a day.
