Verse 1

C 
G 
C 
G 
D 
C 
As I
G 
has landed
on her white dress,
Am 
lace in her hair
D 
C 
G 
A summer day in 46, 13 years in the air
Danced hand in hand until midnight
Am 
Like when they first met
D 
C 
G 
Dreamed out the days ahead
Em 
And the years, they passed them by
G 
Just like they said they would
Em 
G 
And the rooms in the house slowly filled
C 
And they wondered if their story
G 
C 
Am 
G 
was foretold
D 
G 
They loved and fought and mostly won
Am 
Till the children moved away
D 
C 
Forty years together
G 
And then they parted ways
She started to be unusual
Am 
and tried to clear her mind
D 
C 
Her words became like a jigsaw puzzle
G 
and pieces she couldn't find
Em 
And the years escaped her mind
G 
like nobody thought they would
Em 
G 
I'd lose in the house of the dead too
C 
And he wondered if this story
Am 
If told in its gloom and its glory
G 
C 
G 
Am 
D 
Would he change it?
Am 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
G 
C 
G 
D 
oh
Am 
Em 
D 
C 
G 
C 
G 
His eyes landed on her unfamiliar face
Am 
He asked the nurse who's
the pretty one
D 
C 
Across the room she met his gaze
G 
And smiled like it had just begun
They felt like more than strangers
Am 
Meeting for the first time
D 
C 
G 
Danced hand in hand again
Em 
And the years escaped their mind
G 
But nobody thought they would
Em 
G 
And the rooms in the house emptied too
C 
Em 
And the ears escaped their minds
G 
like nobody thought they would
Bm 
C 
Em 
D 
And the rooms in the house slowly filled
C 
They wondered if their story
Am 
If foretold in its gloom and its glory
C 
They wondered if their story
Am 
If foretold in its gloom and its glory
G 
C 
Would they change it?
