Verse 1
C7sus4 
I was standing  at the counter
I was waiting for the change
F 
When I heard that old familiar music start
C7sus4 
It was like      a lighted match
had been tossed into my soul
F 
It was like a dam had broken in my heart

Chorus 1
Bb 
After taking every detour
Gettin' lost and losin' track
F 
So that even if I wanted
I could not find my way back
Bb 
After driving out the memory
Of the way things might have been
C7sus4 
After I'd forgotten all about us
The song remembers
F

Verse 2
C7sus4 
We were rolling   through the Rocky's
We were up above the clouds
When a station out of
F 
Jackson played that song
C7sus4 
And it seemed    to fit the moment
And the moment seemed to freeze
F 
When we turned music up and sang along

Chorus 2
Bb 
And there was a God in Heaven
And the world made perfect sense
F 
We were young and were in love
And we were easy to convince
Bb 
We were headed straight for Eden
It was just around the bend
C7sus4 
And though    I have forgotten all about it
F 
Bb/F 
F

Bridge 1
Bb 
I guess something must have happened
Dm 
And we must have said goodbye
G7 
And my heart must have been broken
C7sus4 
Though I can't recall just why

The song remembers

Verse 3
C7sus4 
Well, for all       the miles between us
And for all the time that's past
F 
You would think I haven't gotten very far
C7sus4 
And I hope      my hasty heart
Will forgive me just this once
F 
If I stop to wonder how on earth you are

Chorus 3
Bb 
But that's just a lot of water
Underneath a bridge I burned
F 
And there's no use in backtracking
Around corners I have turned
Bb 
Still I guess some things we buried
Are just bound to rise again
Csus4 
For even     if the whole world has
forgotten
F 
Bb/F 
F 
The song remembers when

Yeah, and even     if the whole world
has forgotten
