The Persistence Of Memory Cifras

[Intro]
 
E
 
 
[Verse 1]
C#m                         A
I remember driving, and the smell of rain
     E                                     B
Your hand was out the window flying like a plane
C#m                    A
I remember smiling and staring at your face
 
Like it could disappear if I blinked or looked away
A
Old hickory in your sad dress
                         E
Won't let me go just yet
 
 
[Verse 2]
     C#m                   A
Well I remember sitting on your folks' pull out couch
     E                         B
Kept saying it was cold, I was staring at your mouth
        C#m                        A
But the more I read by memory, the less I pay it mind
       E                               A
Just a story that we tell ourselves, almost a lullaby
A
But your eyes and the TV glow
                          E
They still won't let me go
 
 
[Bridge]
     A    E  B       C#m     A
Oh I know we had our reasons why
      A   E   B         E     A
But I can not hold them in my mind
  A    E  B       C#m B   A
I know we had our reasons why, reasons why
            B
But instead I...
 
 
[Verse 3]
C#m                 A
I remember watching you across the room
     E                           B
Yeah I knew all your friends but I did not know you
     C#m                      A
Then when you said your name, I almost felt sick
    E                        B
The whole world spun around, I loved you so quick
A
You laughed and turned your head
                      E
I can't get free of it
 
 
[Outro]
     A    E  B       C#m     A
Oh I know we had our reasons why
       A   E   B       E        A
And I know we had some real bad times
      A  E   B        C#m B  A
But I cannot hold them in my mind, in my mind
