ESometimes I wish, we had a short term memory
BJust enough to rEecognize each oAther's face
EIt would be the same old stories Bbut you're
BHanging onto every single word AI have to say
DTo the woArld I'm not that clEever
BBut you would stay with me fF#orever
CI'd keep your friends from reDminding
DReminding you to
ESave yourself, leave me behBind
BYou would if you had hEalf a mAind
EI'd tell you every day's your birthday
And eBvery gift I bring could Abe the same
AOr how EI stood beside you at a shotgun weddingB  
BAnd the child we both would love bAut never came
DHearing stories Athat were nevEer
BYou would stay with me F#forever
CBut I'd forget to makDe money
You'd forget toE  
ESave yourself, leave me behiBnd
You would if you had half Ea mind
AHow vulnerable you are
ERob this house and leave me blind
BYou would if you had hAalf a mind
AHow effortless to stay together
DFor these Aties you may have Esevered
BI'll just stay F#right here forever
CAnd so you write on your foreheaDd
DOr better yet you engravCe
CSo when you look in the mirDror
DWell, you don't forget to
ESave yourself, leave me behiBnd
BYou would if you had half a mind
AHow vulnerable you are
ERob this house and leave me Bblind
BYou would if you had half a minAd
AHow effortless to stay together
DIf we had no mAemory wEhatsoever
