[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Cm7 F7
I had just woken up a wink before dawn
Bb D/F# Gm
When I thought of your name and —
N.C.
It was gone
Eb Bb/D
You were reading the manual for the toaster
C#dim7 Dm
And as I replaced your drink for a coaster
G Ab G
I looked at your face and gave my mind a spank
C7 F7
But your first and last had left my memory bank...
[Chorus]
Bb Bb/A Gm7 Dm
Honey, you know I love you
Eb Bb
And we've been through our share of tears
Bb Bb/A Gm7 Dm
I hold no one else above you
C7 F7
It's been heaven, these 7 years
Gm Eb
Still, all the same
Eb F7 Bb
I really can't remember your name
[Verse 2]
Cm7 F7
Is it sexy like Hunter, or strapping like Will?
Bb D/F# Gm N.C.
Is it terribly Chad, or unforgiveably... Dill?
Eb Bb/D
Is it stupid like Topher or a throwback like J.R.?
Gm7
Confusing like Sam
F7
Whoever knows who the hell they are?
G
I was cycling through names
Ab G
And doing laps through the house
C7
Cause what's more annoying
F7
Than an anonymous spouse?
[Chorus]
Bb Bb/A Gm7 Dm
Honey, you know I need you
Eb Bb
When I got stabbed, you took off work
Bb Bb/A Gm7 Dm
You're so much of me, I bleed you
C7 F7
And we're both the same kind of jerk
Gm Eb
Still, all the same
Eb F7 Bb
I really can't remember your name
[Bridge]
Eb Bb
No, please don't be Dana
Eb F7
Fred, Carl, Steve , God no
D7 Gm
But if you were, like, Joey — even Joe
Eb F7
Joey or Joe would have all systems go
F7
All systems go!
[Chorus]
Bb Bb/A Gm7 Dm
'Cause Honey, you know I'd perish
Eb Bb
For you, I'd gladly crash a train
Bb Bb/A Gm7 Dm
Each day lived with you I cherish
C7 F7
And so you see it's driving me insane
D7 Gm
How my world's all you
Eb Bb
But I can't recall what to call you
Eb Bb
Ain't it a shame?
Gm Eb
Still, all the same
Eb F7 Bb
Oh, I just can't remember your name
Eb F7 Bb
No, I just can't remember your name
Eb F7 N.C.
No, I just can't remem—
N.C.
Adam?
N.C.
No
Eb F7 N.C. Bb
I really can't remember your name
[Outro]

Mail's here

Mail!

Cm7 F7
What? Jane? Jane?

Jane?
