Intro: C D Em7 Bm7 



[Refrão]
 
C              D               Em7  Bm7 
Don’t try to make yourself remember, darling 
C              D                G    D/F#      Em   D 
Don’t look for me, I’m just a story you’ve been told 
    C         D         Bm7    Em7 
So let’s pretend a little longer 
                  A 
Cause when we’re gone, 
               C 
Everything goes on 


C                               Em7 
Well, you were staring at the window 
        C               D                G       Em 
And I said, “I’ll just bring the sea to you” 


[Verso 1]
 
       C                G/B 
But if I was gone tomorrow, 
       Am7              G/B 
Won’t the waves crash on? 
       C                 G/B 
Is it selfish that I’m happy, 
       Am7               D 
As we pass the setting sun? 
       C              G/B 
Someday I’ll be overcast, 
              Am7      D 
But you won’t have to cry - 
        C              G/B 
Cause we’ll do the grieving 
       D#           C 
While I’m by your side

C              D              Gm         Em7 
Don’t try to make yourself remember, darling 
C              D                G    D/F#      Em   D 
Don’t look for me, I’m just a story you’ve been told 
    C         D       Em7     Gm 
So let’s pretend a little longer 
                  Am7 
Cause when we’re gone, 
  Am            C 
Everything goes on 



[Verso 2]

C                             Em7 
And I’m so scared of getting used to this 
         C                                   Em 
All the vines that keep you tethered in your room 
             C              D 
Said, "I’m sorry that you worried" 
           G  D/F# Em7 
But don’t apologize 
   C            D 
I told you to forget me 
     G         D/F#    Em 
But you stayed by my side

Don’t try to make yourself remember, darling 
C              D                G    D/F#      Em   D 
Don’t look for me, I’m just a story you’ve been told 
    C         Cm     Bm7     Em7 
So let’s pretend a little longer 
                  Am7  Am  C 
Cause when we’re gone, (ahhh) 

Everything goes on
