G                                        Cadd9 
Ariel, you know that some things I'm not sorry for 
                             G 
But when I'm drinking myself down a hole 
                       Cadd9 
It's you I'm thinking of 

         Em7    D            Cadd9    G 
When the winter shrouds this boring town 
       Em7           D            Cadd9      G 
I will trudge though snow wishing you were around 
   D 
Ariel, to curse the snowflakes with me as they fall 

Intro 

G                                        Cadd9 
Ariel, I hope you're somewhere where the weather's warm 
                                     G 
'Cause I've been walking cross these icy roads 
                   Cadd9 
Some day I'll disappear 

         Em7        D          Cadd9      G 
When the snow pulls down on my bending boughs 
       Em7        D 
I will dream of a place 
             Cadd9      G 
Where you're safe and sound 
   D 
Ariel, and I'll hope to hell you'll find it 

G                  Em7 
Ariel, I hope this finds you smiling 
       D                                                      Cadd9 
And if I could believe for a moment that these words mean anything 
    D              Cadd9             G 
I'd sing until the world fell dead asleep 

Intro 

G                                        Cadd9 
Ariel, I thought that if you stayed gone long enough 
                            G 
I wouldn't think of getting tangled up 
               Cadd9 
With you ever again 
        Em7        D      Cadd9        G 
But the past has a way of making you stay 
         Em7    D                   Cadd9      G 
And those  sour grapes seem so much sweeter to me 
   D 
Ariel, when your memory still haunts me 

G                  Em7 
Ariel, I hope this finds you smiling 
       D                                                      Cadd9 
And if I could believe for a moment that these words mean anything 
    D              Cadd9 
I'd sing it to the world 

G                  Em7 
Ariel, I hope this finds you smiling 
       D                                                      Cadd9 
And if I could believe for a moment that these words mean anything 
    D              Cadd9              Em7 
I'd sing until the world fell dead asleep 

Em7                Cadd9 
When I think about those days 
         G                               D              Em7 
It looks like that famous picture of the VJ day parade 
                         Cadd9 
And though a haze of ticker tape 
      G                               D 
I can see you clad in white with that smile on your face 
        Em7      D               Cadd9  
Just another memory I'll lose to time 
        Em7      D               Cadd9 
Just another memory I'll lose to time 
               Em7      D               Cadd9 
You`re just another memory I'll lose to time
