Intro: [Am] , [C] , [D] , [Am] , [C] , [D]
[Am] After school,[C] walkin home
[D]Fresh dirt under my fingernails and
[Am] I can smell[C] hot asphalt
[D] Cars screech to a halt to let me pass
[Am] And I can[C]not remember
[D] What life was like through photographs
[Am] And trying [C]to recreate images life gives us from the past
[Am] [C]
And sometimes its a [D]sad song. But I
[CHORUS]
[F] Cannot for[C]get, refuse to re[Am]gret
So glad I [G]met you and
[F] Take my breath a[C]way
Make every[Am]day
Worth all of the [G]pain that I've gone through
[F] And mama, I've been cryin'
Cause [Am]things ain't how they used[G] to be
She said, 'The [F]battle's almost won
And we're [Ddim]only several mi-[E]les from the sun[Am] .' [C]
O-wo-[D]ho-o-o-o-o-[Am]oh, yeah[C] [D]
[VERSE]
And I'm[Am] movin on,[C] down my street
[D] I see people I won't ever meet
[Am] I think of her, take a breath
[D] Feel the beat in the rhythm of my [Am]steps
[Am] [C]
And sometimes its a [D]sad song. But I
[CHORUS]
[F] Cannot for[C]get, refuse to re[Am]gret
So glad I [G]met you and
[F] Take my breath a[C]way
Make every[Am]day
Worth all of the [G]pain that I've gone through
[F] And mama, I've been cryin'
Cause [Am]things ain't how they used[G] to be
She said, 'The [F]battle's almost won
And we're [Ddim]only several mi-[E]les from the sun[Am] .' [C]
[BRIDGE]
[Am] Rhythm of the conversation
[E7] The perfection of her creation
[Am] The sex she slipped into my coffee
[E7] The way she felt when she first saw me
[Am] Hate to love and love to hate her
[E7] Like a broken record player
[Am] Back and forth and here and gone
and [E7]on and on and on and on!
[CHORUS]
[F] Cannot for[C]get, refuse to re[Am]gret
So glad I [G]met you and
[F] Take my breath a[C]way
Make every[Am]day
Worth all of the [G]pain that I've gone through
[F] And mama, I've been cryin'
Cause [Am]things ain't how they used[G] to be
She said, 'The [F]battle's almost won
And we're [Ddim]only several mi-[E]i-i-iles
Said, 'The [F]battle's almost won
And we're o[Ddim]nly several mi-l[E]es from the sun.[Am]' [C]
[D] [Am]
Yea-[A] ...-[A] -ah
