Next To Normal - How Could I Ever Forget Cifras

[Verse]
F#                   B
We were still living downtown...
F#
My black coat thrown over
   B
My blue nightgown...
    D#m
You drove too fast -
    F#                      C#
The lights of the city flew past.
 
[Chorus]
F#               B
How could I ever forget?
F#
Outside the morning
    B        C#
Was cool and wet.
   D#m
He had such chills...
    F#                      C#
But still - he lay there so still.
                     B
Just eighteen months old...
   Bm       C#
So cold...
 
[Bridge]
           F#
We ran him inside,
D#m   B         D#m
Lost, worrying, wondering.
              B
That hospital room -
     Bm       C#
That gloom -
 
[Chorus 2]
F#               B
How could I ever forget?
F#
Screaming at doctors -
B        C#
Alarmed, upset.
     D#m
They said to wait, [Diana - don't.]
F#
They never said
            C#
We were too late.
          B
But I was child... [So many years ago...]
          Bm                           C#
Raising a child. [So much we could not know...]
                    F#
Those weeks full of joy...
A#               D#m     G#
Then a moment of dread -
               G#m
Someone simply said
     C#
Your child... is...
 
[Chorus 3]
F#               B
How could I ever forget?
F#
This was the moment
B           C#
My life was set.
     F#         D#m
That day that I lost you -
     F#           B      G#
It's clear as the day we met.
B           C#      F#
How could I ever forget.
