[Intro]
Gx4
GAriel, you know that some things I'm not Cadd9sorry for
But when I'm drinking myself Gdown a hole
It's you I'm thinking oCadd9f
When the Em7winter Dshrouds this Cadd9boring toGwn
I will Em7trudge though Dsnow wishing Cadd9you were arGound
AriDel, to curse the snowflakes with me as they fall
[Intro]
GAriel, I hope you're somewhere where the Cadd9weather's warm
'Cause I've been walking cross these Gicy roads
Some day I'll disapCadd9pear
When the Em7snow pulls Ddown on my Cadd9bending bouGghs
I will Em7dream of a Dplace
Where you're Cadd9safe and soGund
AriDel, and I'll hope to hell you'll find it
GAriel, I hope this Em7finds you smiling
And if DI could believe for a moment that these words mean anytCadd9hing
I'd Dsing until the Cadd9world fell dead asGleep
[Intro]
GAriel, I thought that if you stayed gone Cadd9long enough
I wouldn't think of getting Gtangled up
With you ever aCadd9gain
But the Em7past has a Dway of Cadd9making you stGay
And those  Em7sour Dgrapes seem so much Cadd9sweeter to Gme
AriDel, when your memory still haunts me
GAriel, I hope this Em7finds you smiling
And if DI could believe for a moment that these words mean anytCadd9hing
I'd Dsing it to the Cadd9world
GAriel, I hope this Em7finds you smiling
And if DI could believe for a moment that these words mean anytCadd9hing
I'd Dsing until the Cadd9world fell dead aslEm7eep
Em7When I think about Cadd9those days
It looks Glike that famous picture of the DVJ day paradeEm7  
And though a haze of tickCadd9er tape
I can Gsee you clad in white with that Dsmile on your face
Just anoEm7ther memoDry I'll lose to Cadd9time
Just anoEm7ther memoDry I'll lose to Cadd9time
You`re just anoEm7ther memoDry I'll lose to Cadd9time

Cadd9

Em7

[Intro]

Gx4

G Cadd9

Ariel, you know that some things I'm not sorry for

But when I'm drinking myself down a hole

Cadd9

It's you I'm thinking of

Em7 D Cadd9 G

When the winter shrouds this boring town

Em7 D Cadd9 G

I will trudge though snow wishing you were around

Ariel, to curse the snowflakes with me as they fall

[Intro]

G Cadd9

Ariel, I hope you're somewhere where the weather's warm

'Cause I've been walking cross these icy roads

Cadd9

Some day I'll disappear

Em7 D Cadd9 G

When the snow pulls down on my bending boughs

Em7 D

I will dream of a place

Cadd9 G

Where you're safe and sound

Ariel, and I'll hope to hell you'll find it

G Em7

Ariel, I hope this finds you smiling

D Cadd9

And if I could believe for a moment that these words mean anything

D Cadd9 G

I'd sing until the world fell dead asleep

[Intro]

G Cadd9

Ariel, I thought that if you stayed gone long enough

I wouldn't think of getting tangled up

Cadd9

With you ever again

Em7 D Cadd9 G

But the past has a way of making you stay

Em7 D Cadd9 G

And those sour grapes seem so much sweeter to me

Ariel, when your memory still haunts me

G Em7

Ariel, I hope this finds you smiling

D Cadd9

And if I could believe for a moment that these words mean anything

D Cadd9

I'd sing it to the world

G Em7

Ariel, I hope this finds you smiling

D Cadd9

And if I could believe for a moment that these words mean anything

D Cadd9 Em7

I'd sing until the world fell dead asleep

Em7 Cadd9

When I think about those days

G D Em7

It looks like that famous picture of the VJ day parade

Cadd9

And though a haze of ticker tape

G D

I can see you clad in white with that smile on your face

Em7 D Cadd9

Just another memory I'll lose to time

Em7 D Cadd9

Just another memory I'll lose to time

Em7 D Cadd9

You`re just another memory I'll lose to time
