[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D G
The leaves on that ancient old oak tree are starting to turn
A D
The same shades as the flames of this fire that I'm watching burn
D G
There's an unfinished crossword resting on the arm of this chair
A G D
And for the life of me I can't recall if I'm the one that left it there
[Verse 2]
D G
It feels so familiar as I watch you walk in the room
A
And at first I don't recognise you but then I damn sure recognise that
D
perfume
D G
And you kneel down beside me and gently take hold of my hand
A D
I say baby I'm scared and I'm not sure I know who I am
[Chorus 1]
G D
And can you help mе remember who it is that I usеd to be?
G D
And can you tell me the story of my family, my hopes and my dreams?
G
Did I try to stand for something, would I always fold?
D
Did I do things when I was young to be proud of when I was old?
Bm A G
Was our house on fire or was I just a slow burning ember?
D A D
Could you please help me remember?
[Verse 3]
D G
This ring on my finger is golden, faded and worn
A D A D
Like it was forged in the fires of love and it's weathered the storms
D G
I try to make sense of these old photographs on the wall
D A D
But they're just faces and places that I don't know at all
[Chorus 2]
G D
And can you help me remember, I feel like I'm losing my mind
G D
I know there's a story, it's getting harder to find
G
Did I protect my children, stand up for my friends?
D
How much damage did I do, did I ever make amends?
G
Did I try to make a difference, did I give a damn?
