please remember me, happily by the rosebush laughing
CGF5C
with bruises on my chin, the time when, we counted every black car
G
passing
AmGF5CG
your house beneath the hill, and up until, someone caught us in the kitchen
AmGF5C
With maps, a mountain range, a piggy bank, a vision too removed to
G
mention
CGF5C
But please remember me, fondly, I heard from someone you’re still
G
pretty
CGF5
And then, they went on to say That the pearly gates, has some
CG
eloquent graffiti
AmGF5C
Like, we’ll, meet again, and fuck the man And tell my mother not to
G
worry
AmGF5CG
And angels with a great, handshake And all is done in such a hurry
CGF5C
And please remember me, at Halloween, Making fools of all the
G
neighbors
CGF5CG
Are faces painted white, by midnight, We forgotten one another
AmGF5CG
And when The morning came, I was ashamed Only now it seems so silly,
AmGF5CG
That season Left the world and then returned And now your lit up by the City
CGF5CG
So, Please, remember me, Mistakenly In the window of the tallest
CGF5C
tower call, Then pass us by, But much too high, To see the empty road at
G
Happy hour
AmGF5CG
Leave, and resonate, Just like the gates, Around the holy kingdom
AmGF5
With words like 'Lost and Found' and 'Don't Look Down' And
CG
'Someone Save Temptation'
CGF5C
And Please, remember me As in the dream, We had as rug-burned
G
babies
CGF5CG
Among the fallen trees And fast asleep Aside the lions and the ladies
AmGF5C
That called, you what you like, And even might, Give a gift for your
G
behavior
AmGF5CG
A fleeting chance to see, A trapeze Swing as high as any savior
CGF5CG
But Please, remember me, My misery, And how it lost me all I wanted
CGF5
Those dogs, that love the rain, And chasing trains
CG
The colored birds above there running
AmGF5
In circles round the well, And where it spells
CGAm
On the wall behind St. Peter's So bright with
GF5CG
With cinder gray, And spray paint 'Who the hell can see forever?'
CGF5CG
And Please, remember me, Seldomly, In the car behind the carnival
CGF5
My hand between your knees, You turn from me
CG
And said 'The trapeze act was wonderful
AmGF5
But never meant to last', The clown that passed,
CG
Saw me just come up with anger
AmGF5CG
When it filled, with circus dogs, The parking lot, Had an element of danger
CGF5CG
So Please, remember me, Finally, And all my uphill clawing
CGF5
My dear But if I make The pearly Gates
CGAmG
Do my best to make a drawing Of God, and Lucifer
F5CG
A boy and girl An angel kissing on a sinner,
AmGF5CG
A monkey and a man A marching band All around the frightened trapeze swingers
CGF5CGC
Na-na Na-na-na Na-na Na-na...
