Cmaj7 (x32000@1)              Bm7 (x20202@1) There was that girl I used to know
Am7 (x02010@1) She'd tease me about my name
Cmaj7/G        Bm7/F#
 Fan the embers long enough
 Am7/E
I sometimes catch her flame
Cmaj7 (x32000@1)             Bm7 (x20202@1) The soothing voice of distance tells me
Am7 (x02010@1)  "That was just a fling"
Cmaj7/G     Bm7/F#
 Other music fills my ears
   Am7/E
But I still hear her sing, she sings

Cmaj7 (x32000@1)        Bm7Paddy (x20202@1)Joe, say Paddy Joe
     Am7Don't (x02010@1)you remember me?
Cmaj7/G (332000@1)        Bm7/F#
 How long ago one gorgeous night
   Am7/E
We let the stars go
Cmaj7 (x32000@1)        Bm7Paddy (x20202@1)Joe, say Paddy Joe
     Am7Don't (x02010@1)you remember me?
Cmaj7/G (332000@1)        Bm7/F#
 How long ago one gorgeous night
   Am7/E            [Cmaj7]
We let the stars go free

Cmaj7 (x32000@1)          Bm7 (x20202@1) There was a boy I used to be
Am7 (x02010@1) I guess that he was cold
Cmaj7/G (332000@1)       Bm7/F#
 If she came to buy him now
   Am7/E
How cheaply he'd be sold
        Cmaj7 (x32000@1)           Bm7But (x20202@1)the light is gone and it is dark
Am7 (x02010@1) What used to be the sky
Cmaj7/G        Bm7/F#
 Is suddenly embarrassing
Am7/E
 To the naked eye, you see ...

Cmaj7 (x32000@1)        Bm7Paddy (x20202@1)Joe, see Paddy Joe
     Am7Can't (x02010@1)face this memory
Cmaj7/G (332000@1)        Bm7/F#
 How long ago one gorgeous night
