D
Yesterday I thought I saw you
A
Crossing at the corner light
D
Voices ringing through Royal York station
A
Run down the stairs, it happens often
G D
Every time I feel myself unraveling
G F#
I can tell myself that you’ve been travelling
G
All this time
D
Now anytime I hear a laugh as bright
A
You come to mind
D
Borrowing your coat
Your courage walking
A
They’re always asking
G
If I mind it, I just tell myself that
A
You’re still travelling
G F#
You could be in Paris, or in Amsterdam
G
All this time
D A
Come to my mind, come to my mind
D A
Come to my mind, come to my mind
G A G F# G
F#
The camera we found
G
I know where it is now
C G
And your Sunday best clothing
D
Oh, anytime I need to, I can say it
A
Come to my mind
D
I can stand for hours at the station
A
Or on the stairs
If I don’t find you
G D
I just tell myself that you’re still travelling
G F#
You could be in Paris or in Amsterdam
G F#
Standing on the corner to remember it
G
Talking to myself come to my mind again
D Em F#
To my mind, come to my mind
G D
Come to my mind
G F#
Come to my mind
