I Don't Want You To Forget      Jars of Clay

Intro: Bm A G A  Bm G A D

Verse 1:
Bm                              A
 The touch of lips the close of eyes 
G                              A
 They matter more than you surmise 
Bm                        G
 I hide it all in secret boxes
G         A                    D
 Until tomorrow when we first meet 

Verse 2:
Bm                          A
 I watch you fade before my eyes 
G                     A
 I can?t take it, but I won?t look away
Bm                             G
 Maybe the fires that feel so cold
G                A           D
 They won?t completely die away 

Chorus:
Bm               A
 I don?t want to, I don?t want you
G         A              D
 I don?t want you to forget
Bm               G
 I don?t want to, I don?t want you
G         A              D
 I don?t want you to forget 

Verse 3:
Bm                         A
 I may not let you see my pain
G                              A
 I may not speak hard words in anger
Bm                               G
 To you maybe it isn?t really strange
G           A            D
 You being loved by a stranger
                 Bm       A
I won?t give you up just yet
             G               A
I will come calling at your door
Bm                       A
Ours is a home we can?t get to anymore 

(Chorus)

Verse 4:
Bm                            A
 Behind your eyes there is a distance
G                            A
 I ask you if you?d like to dance
Bm                     G
 You mistake me for a healer
            G              A                 D
I?m just a desperate man stealing one last chance
