[INtro ]- A - F#m - D - Esus-E
(verse 1)
A F#m
I went back in time today a box I thought,
I'd thrown away,
D
Had fallen off the basement shelf,
E
I tripped and almost hurt myself,
A
Scattered there across the floor,
F#m
A New Year's Eve hat from '94,
D Esus
Ticket stubs to Billy Joel, and pictures,
E
From the Sugar Bowl,
(bridge)
C#m F#m D
Some of these souvenirs I remember,
Esus-E
Mostly I don't,
C#m F#m D
It's funny how time reduces a keepsake,
Esus - E
To a footnote,
[Refrão]D A E
The wheres and the whens that meant so much then,
A G
Have gracefully moved along,
D A F#m A D - A - Bm
My memory had mercy on me and let me go on,
A D
Considering everything you meant I thought,
E D
I never would forget,
(verse 2)
Here's us dancing on your birthday,
July 29th or 28th,
The song was "Always and Forever,
I'm not sure but I remember,
That's the night we first made love,
The passion captured both of us,
It held us, then it set us free,
This is all that's left of you and me,
(bridge)
A cardboard treasure chest with a diary,
Of two lovers,
Now it's a dusty old box no different,
From the others,
[Refrão]D A E
The wheres and the whens that meant so much then,
A G
Have gracefully moved along,
D A F#m A D - A - Bm
My memory had mercy on me and let me go on,
A D
Considering everything you meant I thought,
E D
I never would forget,
(lead chords - D - C#m - Bm - A - D - E)
(ending)
D A F#m A D - A - Bm
My memory had mercy on me and let me go on,
A D
Considering everything you meant I thought,

I never would forget,
