Sometimes I wish, we had a short term memory
B E A
Just enough to recognize each other's face
E B
It would be the same old stories but you're
B A
Hanging onto every single word I have to say
D A E
To the world I'm not that clever
B F#
But you would stay with me forever
C D
I'd keep your friends from reminding
D
Reminding you to
E B
Save yourself, leave me behind
B E A
You would if you had half a mind
E
I'd tell you every day's your birthday
B A
And every gift I bring could be the same
A E B
Or how I stood beside you at a shotgun wedding
B A
And the child we both would love but never came
D A E
Hearing stories that were never
B F#
You would stay with me forever
C D
But I'd forget to make money
E
You'd forget to
E B
Save yourself, leave me behind
E
You would if you had half a mind
A
How vulnerable you are
E
Rob this house and leave me blind
B A
You would if you had half a mind
A
How effortless to stay together
D A E
For these ties you may have severed
B F#
I'll just stay right here forever
C D
And so you write on your forehead
D C
Or better yet you engrave
C D
So when you look in the mirror
D
Well, you don't forget to
E B
Save yourself, leave me behind
B
You would if you had half a mind
A
How vulnerable you are
E B
Rob this house and leave me blind
B A
You would if you had half a mind
A
How effortless to stay together
D A E
If we had no memory whatsoever
E B F#
We would stay right here forever
C D
You just stay forever
C D
You just stay forever
