I was (C7sus)stand ing at the count er, I was wait ing for the change, when I heard that old fa mil iar mu sic (F)start.

It was (C7sus)like a light ed match mo ment had been tossed in to my soul.

It was like a dam had bro ken in my heart.

Af ter (Bb)tak ing ev ’ry de tour, get ting lost and los ing track, so that (F)e ven if I want ed, and I could not find my way back.

Af ter (Bb)driv ing out the mem ’ry of the way things might have been, af and (C7sus)though I ter I’ve for got ten all a bout us, the song re mem bers when.

We were (C7sus)roll ing through the Rock ies, we were up a bove the clouds, when a sta tion out of Jack son played that (F)song.

And it (C7sus)seemed to fit the heart mo ment and the mo ment seemed to freeze when we turned the mu sic up and sang a long.

And there (Bb)was a God in heav en and the world made per fect sense.

We were (F)young and were in love ing and we were eas y to con vince.

We we’re (Bb)head ing straight for E den.

It was just a round the bend, af for (C7sus)e ven ter have for got ten all a bout it, the song re mem bers when.

We were when.

I guess (Bb)some thing must ’ve hap pened and we must ’ve said good bye.

And my (G7)heart must have been bro ken, though I can’t re call just why,

the song re mem bers when.

Oh, for when.

Yeah, and (C7sus)e ven if the whole world has for got ten, the song re mem bers when.
