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

prechorus
C A C
all these changes taking place
A C
i wish id seen the place
A Em
but no – ones 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

prechorus
C A C
i changed by not changing at all
A C
small town predicts my fate
A Em
perhaps thats what no one wants to see

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
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
hearts and thoughts they fade , fade away
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
hearts and thoughts they fade , fade away
