Please, remember me 
     F 
Happily 
        C        G 
By the rosebush laughing 
       C            G 
With bruises on my chin 
          F 
The time when 
            C               G 
We counted every black car passing 
      Am                G 
Your house beneath the hill 
          F 
And up until 
         C                G 
Someone caught us in the kitchen 
      Am               G 
With maps, a mountain range 
         F 
A piggy bank 
          C              G 
A vision too removed to mention 
  
And
[Estrofa]
 C               G 
Please, remember me 
    F 
Fondly 
              C                    G 
I heard from someone you're still pretty 
     C                    G 
And then they went on to say 
                 F 
That the pearly gates 
          C        G 
Had such eloquent graffiti 
       Am         G 
Like "We'll meet again" 
               F 
And "Fuck the man" 
              C             G 
And "Tell my mother not to worry" 
     Am                G 
And angels with their great 
      F 
Handshakes 
             C              G 
Were always done in such a hurry 
  
And
[Estrofa]
 C               G 
Please, remember me 
           F 
That Halloween 
        C                G 
Making fools of all the neighbors 
     C             G 
Our faces painted white 
       F 
By midnight 
         C           G 
We'd forgotten one another 
     Am               G 
And when the morning came 
        F 
I was ashamed 
      C               G 
Only now it seems so silly 
      Am              G 
That season left the world 
            F 
And then returned 
                C             G 
And now you're lit up by the city 
  
And
[Estrofa]
 C               G 
Please, remember me 
        F 
Mistakenly 
        C             G 
In the window of the tallest tower 
 C              G 
Calling passers-by 
                F 
We're much too high 
            C             G 
To see the empty road at happy hour 
 Am           G 
Gleam and resonate 
               F 
Just like the gates 
            C    G 
Around the holy kingdom 
      Am                   G 
With words like "Lost and found" 
                 F 
And "Don't look down" 
              C        G 
And "Someone save Temptation" 
  
And
[Estrofa]
 C               G 
Please, remember me 
            F 
As in the dream 
           C        G 
We had as rug-burn babies 
 C                G 
Among the fallen trees 
              F 
We're fast asleep 
            C             G 
Beside the lions and the ladies 
      Am                  G 
That called you what you like 
          F 
And even might 
        C             G 
Give a gift for your behavior 
    Am                G 
A fleeting chance to see 
      F 
A trapeze 
         C           G 
Swinger high as any savior 
  
And
[Estrofa]
 C               G 
Please, remember me 
       F 
My misery 
            C             G 
And how it lost me all I wanted 
       C                  G 
Those dogs that love the rain 
              F 
And chasing trains 
             C                 G 
The colored birds above their running 
    Am                 G 
In circles around the well 
               F 
And where it spells 
        C               G 
On the wall behind St. Peter 
    Am               G 
So bright on cinder gray 
          F 
In spray paint 
          C            G 
"Who the hell can see forever?" 
  
And
[Estrofa]
 C               G 
Please, remember me 
      F 
Seldomly 
        C              G 
In the car behind the carnival 
    C                 G 
My hand between your knees 
                F 
You turned from me 
                C               G 
And said, "The trapeze act was wonderful 
     Am             G 
But never meant to last" 
                 F 
The clowns that passed 
        C                 G 
Saw me just come up with anger 
         Am                 G 
When it filled with circus dogs 
             F 
The parking lot 
        C          G 
Had an element of danger 
  
And
[Estrofa]
 C               G 
Please, remember me 
     F 
Finally 
            C      G 
And all my uphill clawing 
    C              G 
My dear, but if I make 
            F 
The pearly gates 
            C              G 
I'll do my best to make a drawing 
   Am       G 
Of God and Lucifer 
           F 
A boy and girl 
          C            G 
An angel kissing on a sinner 
   Am           G 
A monkey and a man 
            F 
A marching band 
     C                     G 
All around the frightened trapeze swinger
