I Thought I Never Would Forget

[INtro ]- A - F#m - D - Esus-E 
 
 
 
(verse 1) 
A                           F#m 
I went back in time today a box I thought, 
 
I'd thrown away, 
D 
Had fallen off the basement shelf, 
E 
I tripped and almost hurt myself, 
A 
Scattered there across the floor, 
  F#m 
A New Year's Eve hat from '94, 
D                          Esus 
Ticket stubs to Billy Joel, and pictures, 
         E 
From the Sugar Bowl, 
 
 
(bridge) 
C#m              F#m            D 
Some of these souvenirs I remember, 
          Esus-E 
Mostly I don't,  
C#m            F#m               D 
It's funny how time reduces a keepsake,  
         Esus - E 
To a footnote, 
 

[Refrão]
D                   A                        E 
The wheres and the whens that meant so much then, 
                  A         G 
Have gracefully moved along, 
D      A              F#m      A        D - A - Bm 
My memory had mercy on me and let me go on, 
           A                D 
Considering everything you meant I thought, 
    E            D 
I never would forget, 
 
 
(verse 2) 
Here's us dancing on your birthday, 
July 29th or 28th, 
The song was "Always and Forever, 
I'm not sure but I remember, 
That's the night we first made love, 
The passion captured both of us, 
It held us, then it set us free, 
This is all that's left of you and me, 
 
(bridge) 
A cardboard treasure chest with a diary, 
Of two lovers, 
Now it's a dusty old box no different,  
From the others, 


[Refrão]
D                   A                        E 
The wheres and the whens that meant so much then, 
                  A         G 
Have gracefully moved along, 
D      A              F#m      A        D - A - Bm 
My memory had mercy on me and let me go on, 
           A                D 
Considering everything you meant I thought, 
    E            D 
I never would forget,

Considering everything you meant I thought, 
    E            D 
I never would forget,
