[Verse 1:]

D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G/B

I seem to recognize your face

D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G/B

Haughting familier yet I can't seem to place it

D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G/B

Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name

D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G/B

Lifetimes are catching up with me

[Pre-chorus 1:]

Cadd9 A Cadd9 A

All these changes taking place I wish I'd seen the place

Cadd9 A Em

but no one's ever taken me

[Chorus]

D Cadd9 G/B G Cadd9 G

Hearts and thoughts they fade fade away

D Cadd9 G/B G Cadd9 G

Hearts and thoughts they fade fade away

[Verse 2: same as before]

I swear I recognize your breath

Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising

You wouldn't recall for I'm not my former

It's hard when you're stuck up on the shelf

[Pre-chorus: same as before]

I changed by not changing at all Small town predicts my

fate perhaps that's what no one wants to see

[Verse 3: same]

I just want to scream, "Hello!"

By God it's been so long Never dreamed you'd return

But now here you are and here I am

Hearts and thoughts they fade away

[Chorus: same as before, keep playing and fade out]
