         Bm 
The city roof 
           A 
Is tipping down. 
              D 
The evening’s high,  
              A 
Lights litter ground. 

           Bm 
I close my eyes. 
          A 
I pray to stone.  
          D 
Do angels weep 
             A 
When they’re alone 

         Bm 
This is farewell,  
                  G 
The last there’ll be. 
             D 
My waiting’s done now. 
         A 
Remember me.  

           Bm 
The smoky sky, 
           A 
The bullet stars… 
              D 
I walked them once, 
             A 
They seem so far. 

            Bm 
You call my name 
           A 
Begging me back. 
           D 
“Remember silence? 
         A 
Remember cracks?” 

             Bm 
Now that I’m here, 
           G 
Can I just say: 
            D 
I’d love to come back, 
          A 
But not today. 

          Bm 
This is farewell, 
                  G  
The last there’ll be. 
             D 
My waiting’s done now. 
         A 
Remember me.  

               Bm 
Somewhere back there, 
           A 
Before the world, 
         D 
Beside a house, 
            A 
There was a girl. 

         Bm 
She ran away - 
            A 
At least she tried. 
         D 
He never came. 
           A 
She never cried. 

           Bm 
Since I am here,  
           G 
May I just say: 
            D 
I’d love to run now,  
          A 
But not today. 

          Bm 
This is farewell,  
                 G 
The last there’ll be. 
             D 
My waiting’s done now.  
         A 
Remember me.  

(Instrumental) (Bm  A, D, A) (2x) 
         
           Bm 
If stories end, 
            G 
If we should fall,  
           D 
We fall together, 
          A 
Or not at all. 
          
          Bm 
This is farewell, 
                 G 
The last there’ll be. 
              D 
My waiting’s done now. 
         A 
Remember me.
