Intro: G (4x)
G Cadd9
Ariel, you know that some things I'm not sorry for
G
But when I'm drinking myself down a hole
Cadd9
It's you I'm thinking of
Em7 D Cadd9 G
When the winter shrouds this boring town
Em7 D Cadd9 G
I will trudge though snow wishing you were around
D
Ariel, to curse the snowflakes with me as they fall
Intro
G Cadd9
Ariel, I hope you're somewhere where the weather's warm
G
'Cause I've been walking cross these icy roads
Cadd9
Some day I'll disappear
Em7 D Cadd9 G
When the snow pulls down on my bending boughs
Em7 D
I will dream of a place
Cadd9 G
Where you're safe and sound
D
Ariel, and I'll hope to hell you'll find it
G Em7
Ariel, I hope this finds you smiling
D Cadd9
And if I could believe for a moment that these words mean anything
D Cadd9 G
I'd sing until the world fell dead asleep
Intro
G Cadd9
Ariel, I thought that if you stayed gone long enough
G
I wouldn't think of getting tangled up
Cadd9
With you ever again
Em7 D Cadd9 G
But the past has a way of making you stay
Em7 D Cadd9 G
And those sour grapes seem so much sweeter to me
D
Ariel, when your memory still haunts me
G Em7
Ariel, I hope this finds you smiling
D Cadd9
And if I could believe for a moment that these words mean anything
D Cadd9
I'd sing it to the world
G Em7
Ariel, I hope this finds you smiling
D Cadd9
And if I could believe for a moment that these words mean anything
D Cadd9 Em7
I'd sing until the world fell dead asleep
Em7 Cadd9
When I think about those days
G D Em7
It looks like that famous picture of the VJ day parade
Cadd9
And though a haze of ticker tape
G D
I can see you clad in white with that smile on your face
Em7 D Cadd9
Just another memory I'll lose to time
Em7 D Cadd9
Just another memory I'll lose to time
Em7 D Cadd9
You`re just another memory I'll lose to time
