[Verse 1]
G Em D
Do you remember those nights that summer?
G
Man, I passed by your old place —
D
it brought it back.
G
You loved those old-time tunes
Em D
(the kind your old man sang to you)
G D
but now they only make you sad.
[Verse 2]
G
So we were young then.
Em D G
The night was warm, the air was still.
D
We drank beneath the high white moon
G
And you said, “Love is strange.
Em D
It gives to you what you can’t take,
G D
and then it leaves you far too soon.”
[Chorus]
Em D
For what it’s worth
G D Em
my heart remembers how it hurt
G D
the day you went away.
Em D
I hope you found what you looked for;
G D Em
I hope that joy has found your door.
G D
I guess I wanted to say
G
I hope you are okay.
[Verse 3]
G
Where did the time go?
Em D G
The years have passed like birds in flight.
D
One day you’re young, the next you’re not.
G Em D
But I still see your silhouette against the trees
G D
and hear your singing in my dreams.
[Chorus]
Em D
For what it’s worth
G D Em
my heart remembers how it hurt
G D
the day you went away.
Em D
I hope you found what you looked for;
G D Em
I hope that joy has found your door.
G D
I guess I wanted to say
G
I hope you are okay.
