BmAnd you told me you loved me too
GBut you thought that our love was wrong
AAnd I talked you off the ledge by morning
ACaught the train and you headed home
DI still remember the day that I met you
AStill remember the day you left
GStill remember the day you came back
AAnd I remember the things you said
BmAnd I remember the days and the good times
GAnd I remember the nights without
AI tell you baby, when you get back home
AWe'll catch a train and we're heading south, saying

And you told me you loved me too

But you thought that our love was wrong

And I talked you off the ledge by morning

Caught the train and you headed home

And I remember the days and the good times

And I remember the nights without

I tell you baby, when you get back home
