Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town
Pearl Jam
(added because none of the others are exactly quite right...)
[Verse 1]
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
I seem to recognize your face
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Haunting familiar, yet I cant seem to place it
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Lifetimes are catchin' up with me
[Pre-Chorus]
C A C
All these changes taking place
A C
I wish i’d seen the place
A Em
But no-one’s ever taken me
[Chorus]
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
[Verse 2]
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
I swear I recognise your breath
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Memories, like fingerprints are slowly raising
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Me, you wouldn't recall, for I'm not my former
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
It's hard when you're stuck upon the shelf
[Pre-Chorus]
C A C
I changed by not changing at all
A C
Small town predicts my fate
A Em
Perhaps that's what no one wants to see
[Bridge]
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
I just want to scream, "hello!"
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
My god, it's been so long, never dreamed you'd return
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
But now here you are and here I am
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Hearts and thoughts they fade away
[Chorus]
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Hearts and thoughts they fade, away
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away (3x fade out)
