[Intro]
E Cm F#m A

[Verse 1]
E
Last night Beth asked how you’re getting on
Cm F#m
I said you’re doing good, but some of you
A
has left and some of you is still here
E
I said it first just as a joke,
Cm
but beneath all of the mirrors and smoke
F#m A
sometimes I think your memory is selective
E
It just seems beyond convenient
Cm
which parts are disappearing when
F#m A
the times you can’t remember I can’t forget

[Pre-chorus 1]
E
Maybe that’s a kindness though,
Cm
a beauty in the ‘growing old’;
F#m A
that for some, our own memories forgive us

[Chorus 1]
B E A Cm
Well it’s all that I could wish for you
A Cm B A
It’s all that I could ever wish for you
E
Let those memories just fade away
Cm F#m A

[Verse 2]
E
I reminded you just yesterday
Cm
that I had a daughter on the way
F#m
and your eyes lit up and for a moment
A
the clouds were lifted
E
And I hope that when you meet her too
Cm
it’s one of those days that stays with you
F#m
I hope she meets the person
A
that I once knew

[Pre-chorus 2]
