verse 2
D Gmaj7
And though you have forgotten
D Gmaj7
All of our rubbish dreams
D Gmaj7
I find myself searching
D Gmaj7
Through the ashes of our ruins
Bridge
D Gmaj7
For the days when we smiled
D Gmaj7
And the hours that ran wild
D Gmaj7
With the magic of our eyes
D Gmaj7
And the silence of our words

And sometimes i wonder
N.C
Just for a while
N.C
Will you remember me
