Song: I Thought I Never Would Forget
Album: American Child

Intro - A - F#m - D - Esus-E

(verse 1)
[A]I went back in time today a [F#m]box I thought,

I'd thrown away,
[D]Had fallen off the basement shelf,
[E]I tripped and almost hurt myself,
[A]Scattered there across the floor,
A [F#m]New Year's Eve hat from '94,
[D]Ticket stubs to Billy Joel,[Esus] and pictures,
From the [E]Sugar Bowl,

(bridge)
[C#m]Some of these sou[F#m]venirs I rememb[D]er,
Mostly I d[Esus-E]on't,
[C#m]It's funny how [F#m]time reduces a kee[D]psake,
To a foot[Esus]note,[-][E]

(chorus)
[D]The wheres and the w[A]hens that meant so much t[E]hen,
Have gracefully mo[A]ved along,[G]
[D]My memo[A]ry had mercy on[F#m] me and l[A]et me go [D]on[-],[A][-][Bm]
Considering[A] everything you m[D]eant I thought,
I ne[E]ver would for[D]get,

(verse 2)
Here's us dancing on your birthday,
July 29th or 28th,
The song was "Always and Forever,
I'm not sure but I remember,
That's the night we first made love,
The passion captured both of us,
It held us, then it set us free,
This is all that's left of you and me,

(bridge)
A cardboard treasure chest with a diary,
Of two lovers,
Now it's a dusty old box no different,
From the others,

(chorus)
[D]The wheres and the w[A]hens that meant so much t[E]hen,
Have gracefully mo[A]ved along,[G]
[D]My memo[A]ry had mercy on[F#m] me and l[A]et me go [D]on[-],[A][-][Bm]
Considering[A] everything you m[D]eant I thought,
I ne[E]ver would for[D]get,



(lead chords - D - C#m - Bm - A - D - E)


(ending)
[D]My memo[A]ry had mercy on[F#m] me and l[A]et me go [D]on[-],[A][-][Bm]
Considering[A] everything you m[D]eant I thought,
I ne[E]ver would for[D]get
