Oh Oh Oh 
 
verse 1 
 
      Dm                   Bb 
We'll make our agreements about when to meet 
 
         F                    C 
and I'll leave you in the doorway. 
 
    Dm                        Bb 
The cold evening aches as it leaves in its wake 
 
         F            C 
all the memories left by the day. 
 
        Dm                     Bb 
And I'm questioning why as you look to the sky 
 
           F                     C 
that it's cloudless up above our heads. 
 
    Dm                             Bb 
And thoughts come to mind that our short little lives 
 
         F                           C 
haven't left the path that they will tread. 
 
          Dm     (Bb C* Dm) 
They will tread. 
 
 
F          Bb      C 
I'll come back to haunt you. 
 
F    Dm       Bb    C 
Memories will taunt you. 
 
    F      Bb      C 
And I will try to love you. 
 
     F        Dm   Bb   C 
It's not like I'm above you. 
 
 
Dm 
 
verse 2 
 
     Dm                     Bb 
The wisdom we learn as our minds they do burn 
 
       F                   C 
will entice the naivety in youth. 
 
   Dm                       Bb 
As adults we'll grow and maturity shows 
 
        F                    C 
all the terrifying rarity of truth. 
 
       Dm                         Bb 
As you turn to your mind and your thoughts they rewind 
 
       F                              C 
to old happenings and things that are done. 
 
    Dm                                 Bb 
You can't find what's passed make that happiness last 
 
       F                             C 
seeing from those eyes what you've become. 
 
              Dm    (Bb C* Dm) 
What you've become. 
 
 
F          Bb      C 
I'll come back to haunt you. 
 
F    Dm       Bb    C 
Memories will taunt you. 
 
    F      Bb      C 
And I will try to love you. 
 
     F        Dm   Bb   C 
It's not like I'm above you. 
 
 
Gm C* Dm (x2) 
 
BRIDGE 
 
Gm     C*      Dm 
I will see you there, 
 
        Gm 
see you there, 
 
C*     Dm 
see you there. 
 
 
F          Bb      C 
I'll come back to haunt you. 
 
F    Dm       Bb    C 
Memories will taunt you. 
 
    F      Bb      C 
And I will try to love you. 
 
     F        Dm   Bb   C 
It's not like I'm above you.
