All Too Well (10 Minute Version)

[C] [G] [Am] [F]

[C] [G] [Am] [F]

 

I [C]walked through the door with you, [G]the air was cold

But [Am]somethin' 'bout it felt like [F]home somehow

And I [C]left my scarf there at your [G]sister's house

And you've [Am]still got it in your [F]drawer, even now

 

[C] [G] [Am] [F]

 

Oh, your [C]sweet disposition and my [G]wide-eyed gaze

We're [Am]singing in the car, getting [F]lost upstate

[C]Autumn leaves falling down like [G]pieces into place

And I [Am]can picture it after [F]all these days

 

And I [C]know it's long gone and

That [G]magic's not here no more

And I [Am]might be okay, but I'm not [G]fine at all

[F] [G] [F/C] [G]

 

'Causе [C]there we arе again on that [G]little town street

You [Am]almost ran the red 'cause you were [F]lookin' over at me

Wind in my [C]hair, I was there

I [G]remember it all too [Am] [F]well

 

Photo [C]album on the counter, your [G]cheeks were turning red

You used to be a [Am]little kid with glasses in a [F]twin-sized bed

And your [C]mother's

telling stories 'bout you on the [G]tee-ball team

You [Am]taught me 'bout your past, thinking your [F]future was me

And you were [C]tossing me the car keys

"Fuck the [G]patriarchy" keychain on the [Am]ground

We were always skipping [F]town

And I was [C]thinking on the drive down

Any [G]time now, he's gonna say it's [Am]love

You never called it what it [F]was

'Til we were [C]dead and gone and buried

Check the [G]pulse and come back

Swearing it's the [Am]same

After three months in the [F]grave

And then you [C]wondered where it went to

As I [G]reached for you

But all I felt was [Am]shame

And you held my lifeless [F]frame

 

And I [C]know it's long gone and

There was [G]nothing else I could do

And I [Am]forget about you long enough

To [G]forget why I needed [F]to [G] [C] [G]

 

'Cause [C]here we are again in the [G]middle of the night

We're [Am]dancing 'round the kitchen in the [F]refrigerator light

Down the [C]stairs, I was there

I remember [G]it all too [Am] [F]well

And [C]there we are again

When [G]nobody had to know

You [Am]kept me like a secret

But I [F]kept you like an oath

Sacred [C]prayer and we'd swear

To [G]remember it all too [Am]well, [F]yeah

 

[C] [G] [Am] [F] [G]

 

Well maybe we got [C]lost in translation

Maybe I [G]asked for too much

But maybe this [Am]thing was a masterpiece

'Til you [F]tore it all up

Running [C]scared, I was there

I remember [G]it all [Am]too [F]well

And you [C]call me up again

Just to [G]break me like a promise

So [Am]casually cruel in the name [F]of being honest

I'm a [C]crumpled up piece of paper [G]lying here

'Cause I remember it [Am]all, all, [F]all

 

They say [C]"All's well that ends well"

But [G]I'm in a new hell every [Am]time

You [F]double-cross my mind

You said if [C]we had been closer in [G]age

Maybe it would have been [Am]fine

And that made me [F]want to die

The [C]idea you had of me, who was she?

A [G]never-needy, ever-lovely [Am]jewel

Whose shine reflects on [F]you

Not [C]weeping in a party bathroom

Some [G]actress asking me what happened

[Am] You

That's what happened: [F]you

You, who [C]charmed my dad with [G]self-effacing jokes

[Am]Sipping coffee like you were on a [F]late night show

But then he [C]watched me watch the front door

all night, [G]willing you to come

And he said, [Am]"it's supposed to be fun…

[F] Turning 21"

 

[C] [G] [Am] [F]

 

[C]Time won't fly, it's like I'm [G]paralyzed by it

I'd like to [Am]be my old self again,

but I'm [F]still trying to find it

After [C]plaid shirt days and nights when you [G]made me your own

Now you [Am]mail back my things and I [F]walk home alone

But you [C]keep my old scarf from that [G]very first week

'Cause it [Am]reminds you of innocence and it [F]smells like me

You can't get [C]rid of it

'Cause you [G]remember it all [Am]too well, [F]yeah

 

'Cause [C]there we are again when I [G]loved you so

[Am]Back before you lost the one real [F]thing you've ever known

It was [C]rare, I was there

I [G]remember it all [Am]too [F]well

 

Wind in my [C]hair, you were there

You [G]remember it all

Down the [Am]stairs, you were there

You [F]remember it all

It was [C]rare, I was there

I [G]remember it all [Am]too [F]well

 

And I was never good at [C]telling jokes

But the [Am]punchline goes:

"I'll get [F]older, but your lovers [G]stay my age"

From when your [C]Brooklyn broke my [Am]skin and bones

I'm a [F]soldier who's returning [G]half her weight

And did the [C]twin flame bruise paint [Am]you blue?

Just [F]between us, did the love affair [G]maim you too?

Cause in this [F]city's barren [F]cold

I still remember the [G]first fall of [G]snow

And how it glistened as it [F]fell

I [F]remember it all [C]too [Am]well

Just [F]between us did the love affair [G]maim you

All [C]too [Am]well

Just [F]between us, do you [G]remember it

All [C]too [Am]well

Just [F]between us, I [G]remember it all [C]too well

 

[C]Wind in my hair, I was [Am]there, I was there

[F] Down the stairs, I was [G]there, I was there

[C] Sacred prayer, I was [Am]there, I was there

[F] It was rare, you [G]remember it (all too well)

[C]Wind in my hair, I was [Am]there, I was there

[F] Down the stairs, I was [G]there, I was there

[C] Sacred prayer, I was [Am]there, I was there

[F] It was rare, you [G]remember it

[C]Wind in my hair, I was [Am]there, I was there

[F] Down the stairs, I was [G]there, I was there

[C] Sacred prayer, I was [Am]there, I was there

[F] It was rare, you [G]remember it

[C]Wind in my hair, I was [Am]there, I was there

[F] Down the stairs, I was [G]there, I was there

[C] Sacred prayer, I was [Am]there, I was there

[F] It was rare, you [G]remember it

[C](fade [Am]out)
