Intro 1

You

Verse 1
D 
said you had this call
Am 
C 
G 
Some sort of course that guided
D 
you from long before
Am 
C 
G 
My story was written onto you
D 
You happened through my town
Am 
C 
G 
Said you followed the river and it brought
D 
you down to this valley in bloom
Am 
C 
And   I spent the spring
D 
G 
in love with you
Em 
Esus4 
And this town,
Em 
C 
G 
Gm 
it steals memory
G 
Em 
B 
C 
Gm 
If you leave, I know you won't remember me

G 
Em 
C 
G 
D 
You said you liked my song
Am 
Em 
C 
And to prove the point
D 
G 
you hummed along for
D 
Am 
C 
D 
G 
Or a phrase or two
D 
And I said I'd lay by
Am 
C 
And for you I'd sing the songs
G 
D 
that I've known all my life
Am 
C 
D 
G 
Not knowing why
Em 
C 
G 
And I laughed, as young girls do
C 
And covered my mouth,
D 
Em 
G 
I played the fool
Gm 
G 
C 
D 
G 
Oh, I laughed as young girls do
Em 
C 
And covered my  eyes
D 
G 
so I wouldn't see
D 
Am 
The time passed on
C 
G 
Metal hands on a grandfather clock
D 
You don't whine,
Am 
C 
G 
because the hands  wind you
D 
Oh, you keeper of the songs
Am 
C 
Collecting young girls'
D 
G 
hearts as you go along
D 
And though your song may linger
Am 
Em 
G 
A song catcher always moves on
D 
And though your song may linger,
Am 
C 
G 
a song catcher always moves on
B 
Em 
And for this town that
C 
G 
Gm 
steals memory
G 
B 
C 
Yet when you leave, I pray it takes yours
Gm 
G 
D 
G 
G 
Gm 
G 
from me
Em 
You
C
