(Chorus)
G Am D
I want to remember
G Em
What I need to forget.
Am C
So I'm fanning the ember
D
And keeping it lit.
Am D
It's been such a long time.
G Em
I should be letting it go.
Am D
It's just another thing in my mind
G
That I don't need to know.
D C G
I remember sunny mornings, I remember days of rain.
D C G
I remember streaks of water washing down the window pane.
Em A C D
I remember in the evening when the sky was dark and deep.
Am C D G
I remember the last night I didn't drink myself to sleep.
There were days when I was happy, though not for quite a while.
There were days you'd hear me singing and light up with a smile.
There were days we were together, there were days we were apart,
Until the day you found you had to go and break my heart.
(Bridge)
Am C G Em
Though you are gone, you're always on my mind.
Am C D G
It seems the ties between us are still strong enough to bind.
D C G
And I have no faith in science, nor in magic, nor in prayer,
Am C D G
For none of them possess the power to fill your empty chair.
(Final chorus)
Am D
It's just another thing in my mind
G
That I don't need to know.
