Cmaj7 Bm7
there was that girl i used to know
Am7
she’d tease me about my name
Cmaj7/G Bm7/F#
fan the embers long enough
[ ch ] Am7/E [ /Ch ]
i sometimes catch her flame
Cmaj7 Bm7
the soothing voice of distance tells me
Am7
“that was just a fling”
Cmaj7/G Bm7/F#
other music fills my ears
[ ch ] Am7/E [ /Ch ]
but i still hear her sing , she sings

Cmaj7 Bm7
paddy joe , say paddy joe
Am7
don’t you remember me?
Cmaj7/G Bm7/F#
how long ago one gorgeous night
[ ch ] Am7/E [ /Ch ]
we let the stars go
Cmaj7 Bm7
paddy joe , say paddy joe
Am7
don’t you remember me?
Cmaj7/G Bm7/F#
how long ago one gorgeous night
[ ch ] Am7/E [ /Ch ] [ Cmaj7 ]
we let the stars go free

Cmaj7 Bm7
there was a boy i used to be
Am7
i guess that he was cold
Cmaj7/G Bm7/F#
if she came to buy him now
[ ch ] Am7/E [ /Ch ]
how cheaply he’d be sold
Cmaj7 Bm7
but the light is gone and it is dark
Am7
what used to be the sky
Cmaj7/G Bm7/F#
is suddenly embarrassing
[ ch ] Am7/E [ /Ch ]
to the naked eye , you see . . .

Cmaj7 Bm7
paddy joe , see paddy joe
Am7
can’t face this memory
Cmaj7/G Bm7/F#
how long ago one gorgeous night
[ ch ] Am7/E [ /Ch ]
we let the stars go
Cmaj7 Bm7
paddy joe , see paddy joe
Am7
can’t face this memory
Cmaj7/G Bm7/F#
how long ago one gorgeous night
[ ch ] Am7/E [ /Ch ]
we let the stars go
Cmaj7 Bm7
long ago one gorgeous night
[ ch ] Am7/E [ /Ch ]
we let the stars go
Cmaj7 Bm7
long ago one stupid night
Am7
we let the stars go free
