I Remember Her

There's a house

(Gsus)that's not on a (G)hill,

(Am)and the paint's chipping off

(F)of the old windowsill.

(C)There's a tree in the front yard (Gsus)that's older than (G)me,

(Am)and older than all of you.

(C)There's a smell that the heat makes;

it reminds me of (G)Christmas,

(Am)and birthdays (Am7)in (F)December.

I (C)remember her.

I (Gsus)remember her.

I remember her so (F)well.

(F)I (C)remember her.

I (Gsus)remember her.

I (Am)remember her so well.

(Fsus2)But (F)things, they (C)fade.

She would kiss my hand,

(Gsus)she would kiss my head,

(Am)then she'd fall asleep with me

(F)in my tiny bed.

(C)She would sing me lullabies, gave me my (G)hazel eyes,

and then she'd call me beautiful.

(F)She made me beautiful.

I (C)refade.

Things turn to (Gsus)grey.

(G)As much as I (Am)try to save them,

(F)they turn to grey.

Just like the (C)house

that's not on a (Gsus)hill,

(G)with all of the (Am)rust on the gate and chips on the (F)sill.

But I love it (C)still.
