Verso 1:
E 
Is it sad that I don't even remember your name? 

 Em7                                               E 
'Cause when I said it out loud I didn't feel any pain 

G#m                 G                 Gm F#m7              B7 
And even seein' my tears on the pages, nothing's jogged my mind 

G#                            A              F#m            B 
I'm runnin' through all those memories of the spring of '99 

Interlude 
E 

Verso 2:
E                                               Em 
Friday nights spent in front of a movie screen 

E                                            Em 
Around all of our friends, you'd be so mean 

G#m                         Gm                         F#m               B 
But then you'd steal by my side and whisper somethin' underneath your breath 

G#                         A          F#m   B 
Like how you wish you were holdin' my hand instead 

A                  B                 E     B 
But I've forgotten everything you've said

Ah, who was (Who was)

Who was Jameson? 
  E                    A 
Tell me, what was your name again? 
 E                A 
Ah, who was (Who was) 
E                   A 
Who was Jameson?

Tell me, what was your name again? 

Ponte:
A 
I couldn't pick your face from a lineup 

G#m                   Gm 
I wouldn't know your voice if it came up 

F#m                           A 
Sadly all those nights that I stayed up cryin' 

G#m,G         F#m         B7  B5 
I can't recall lovin' you 

E,Em 

Verso 3: 
E 
So how do I know the details of this affair? 

E 
Because I wrote it all down and if you read it you'd be sure that I'd really cared 

G#m7               F#m                                             B7 
Is it some kind of beauty that you didn't leave your mark on me? 

G#                       A               F#m             B 
That I can say the name "Jameson" and it doesn't light a spark in me 

A                     B    E          B 
'Cause I've forgotten you completely

Tell me, what was your name again? 
E                 A 
Ah, who was (Who was) 
   E             A 
Who was Jameson? 
E                         A 
Tell me, what was your name again?
