[Cmaj7] There was that girl[Bm7] I used to know
[Am7] She'd tease me about my name
[Cmaj7/G] Fan the embers[Bm7/F#] long enough
[ch]Am7/E[/ch]
I sometimes catch her flame
[Cmaj7] The soothing voice[Bm7] of distance tells me
[Am7] "That was just a fling"
[Cmaj7/G] Other music[Bm7/F#] fills my ears
[ch]Am7/E[/ch]
But I still hear her sing, she sings
[Cmaj7]Paddy Joe, say [Bm7]Paddy Joe
Don't[Am7] you remember me?
[Cmaj7/G] How long ago one[Bm7/F#] gorgeous night
[ch]Am7/E[/ch]
We let the stars go
[Cmaj7]Paddy Joe, say [Bm7]Paddy Joe
Don't[Am7] you remember me?
[Cmaj7/G] How long ago one[Bm7/F#] gorgeous night
[ch]Am7/E[/ch] [Cmaj7]
We let the stars go free

[Cmaj7] There was a boy[Bm7] I used to be
[Am7] I guess that he was cold
[Cmaj7/G] If she came to [Bm7/F#]buy him now
[ch]Am7/E[/ch]
How cheaply he'd be sold
But the [Cmaj7]light is gone and [Bm7]it is dark
[Am7] What used to be the sky
[Cmaj7/G] Is suddenly em[Bm7/F#]barrassing
[ch]Am7/E[/ch]
To the naked eye, you see ...
[Cmaj7]Paddy Joe, see [Bm7]Paddy Joe
Can't[Am7] face this memory
[Cmaj7/G] How long ago one[Bm7/F#] gorgeous night
[ch]Am7/E[/ch]
We let the stars go
[Cmaj7]Paddy Joe, see [Bm7]Paddy Joe
Can't[Am7] face this memory
[Cmaj7/G] How long ago one[Bm7/F#] gorgeous night
[ch]Am7/E[/ch]
We let the stars go
[Cmaj7] Long ago one[Bm7] gorgeous night
[ch]Am7/E[/ch]
We let the stars go
[Cmaj7] Long ago one[Bm7] stupid night
We [Am7]let the stars go free
| Cmaj7 | Bm7 | Am7 [Cmaj7/G]
We let the stars go free
| Cmaj7/G | Bm7/F# | [ch]Am7/E[/ch] [Cmaj7]
We let the stars go free
| Cmaj7 | Bm7 | [ch]Am7/E[/ch] [Cmaj7/G]
