Mary Chapin Carpenter 

Intro:  F F F F F G C G   F F F F F G C G  

F                                               G G C G G G C G 
Can't remember lookin' for somethin' so hard to find 
F                                              G G C G G G C G 
I can't remember talkin' to myself just like I'd lost my mind 
Am                                                 D 
I can't remember rowin' towards the moon upon a single beam 

{Chorus:} 

                 F F F F F G C G 
But it must have happened 
                 F F F F F G C G 
(Yeah) (Yes) it must have happened 

Can't remember learning how to laugh at catastrophe 
I can't remember losin' track of who I was s'pposed to be 
I can't remember ridin' flyin' horses toward the golden ring 

{Chorus} 

F 
'Cause after all, baby 
C                   F 
Here I am with the ring in my pocket 
C 
And the moon in my hand 
Am 
After all, baby 
D      F F F F F G C G 
Here I am with you 

Can't remember seein' all my hopes goin' up in flames 
I can't remember reachin' for the closest thing to dull the pain 
I can't remember feeling I could be healed by a stranger's hand 

{Chorus} 

'Cause after all, baby 
Here I am in a bed of roses 
With a punch-drunk grin 
After all, baby 
Here I am with you 

Can't remember lookin' for omens hopin' there was gonna be a sign 
Can't remember figuring out the secret was inside me all this time 
I can't remember walkin' without fear towards the light you shine 

{Tag Chorus:} 
But it must have happened 
Yeah, it must have happened 
And I know it happened 
Yes, it must have happened 
Darlin' look what happened
