Please, remember me
     F
Happily
        C        G
By the rosebush laughing
       C            G
With bruises on my chin
          F
The time when
            C               G
We counted every black car passing
      Am                G       
Your house beneath the hill
          F
And up until
         C                G
Someone caught us in the kitchen
      Am               G
With maps, a mountain range
         F
A piggy bank
          C              G
A vision too removed to mention

And


 C               G
Please, remember me
    F
Fondly
              C                    G
I heard from someone you're still pretty
     C                    G
And then they went on to say
                 F
That the pearly gates
          C        G
Had such eloquent graffiti
       Am         G
Like "We'll meet again"
               F
And "Fuck the man"
              C             G
And "Tell my mother not to worry"
     Am                G
And angels with their great
      F
Handshakes
             C              G
Were always done in such a hurry

And


 C               G
Please, remember me
           F
That Halloween
        C                G
Making fools of all the neighbors
     C             G
Our faces painted white
       F
By midnight
         C           G
We'd forgotten one another
     Am               G
And when the morning came
        F
I was ashamed
      C               G
Only now it seems so silly
      Am              G
That season left the world
            F
And then returned
                C             G
And now you're lit up by the city

And


 C               G
Please, remember me
        F
Mistakenly
        C             G
In the window of the tallest tower
 C              G
Calling passers-by
                F
We're much too high
            C             G
To see the empty road at happy hour
 Am           G
Gleam and resonate
               F
Just like the gates
            C    G
Around the holy kingdom
      Am                   G
With words like "Lost and found"
                 F
And "Don't look down"
              C        G
And "Someone save Temptation"

And


 C               G
Please, remember me
            F
As in the dream
           C        G
We had as rug-burn babies
 C                G
Among the fallen trees
              F
We're fast asleep
            C             G
Beside the lions and the ladies
      Am                  G
That called you what you like
          F
And even might
        C             G
Give a gift for your behavior
    Am                G
A fleeting chance to see
      F
A trapeze
         C           G
Swinger high as any savior

And


 C               G
Please, remember me
       F
My misery
            C             G
And how it lost me all I wanted
       C                  G
Those dogs that love the rain
              F
And chasing trains
             C                 G
The colored birds above their running
    Am                 G
In circles around the well
               F
And where it spells
        C               G
On the wall behind St. Peter
    Am               G
So bright on cinder gray
          F
In spray paint
          C            G
"Who the hell can see forever?"

And


 C               G
Please, remember me
      F
Seldomly
        C              G
In the car behind the carnival
    C                 G
My hand between your knees
                F
You turned from me
                C               G
And said, "The trapeze act was wonderful
     Am             G
But never meant to last"
                 F
The clowns that passed
        C                 G
Saw me just come up with anger
         Am                 G
When it filled with circus dogs
             F
The parking lot
        C          G
Had an element of danger

And


 C               G
Please, remember me
     F
Finally
            C      G
And all my uphill clawing
    C              G
My dear, but if I make
            F
The pearly gates
            C              G
I'll do my best to make a drawing
   Am       G
Of God and Lucifer
           F
A boy and girl
          C            G
An angel kissing on a sinner
   Am           G
A monkey and a man
            F
A marching band
     C                     G
All around the frightened trapeze swinger


C      G
Na, na-na
   F
Na-na
   C      G
Na-na, na-na
      C      G
Na-na-na, na-na
   F
Na-na
      C      G
Na-na-na, na-na
      C
Na-na-na
