VERSE 1
C/G
We knew it all from a little thing
It was everything in our first minute
And it took us to another place
Yeah another place and we fell in it
PRE-CHORUS 1 (Guitar 2: Palm-muted)
Bb F
How dare you not remember
C/G
How dare you walk away
VERSE 2
C/G
We adored every little thing
Every little thing would leave us breathless
Every dawn spelled another day
And in another day we weren't so restless
PRE-CHORUS 2 (Guitar 2: Palm-muted)
Bb F
How dare you not remember
G
How dare you walk away
CHORUS
F
And I wanted you so much
G
Just like I do right now
Am G F
I wanted us to be the one the poets write their books about
Dm
I wanted it to last
F C
I wanted to grow old, but life got in the way
VERSE 3
C/G
We walked around in a heavy haze
We were stuck in days of so much warring
We got lost in a tricky maze
Yeah a tricky maze that was so scarring
PRE-CHORUS 3 (Guitar 2: Palm-muted)
Bb F
How come you can't remember
C/G
How dare you walk away
VERSE 4
C/G
Then you start to add the little things
Add the little things and trip the mighty
Now we got a little bitter thing
A little bitter thing that grew like ivy
PRE-CHORUS 4 (Guitar 2: Palm-muted)
Bb F
And how dare you not remember
G
How dare you walk away
CHORUS
F
And I wanted you so much
G
Just like I do right now
Am G F
I wanted us to be the one the poets write their books about
Dm
I wanted it to last
F C
I wanted to grow old, but life got in the way
BRIDGE
Am G F C
And apathy grows quietly where rapture used to fly
Am G Dm
And promises and certainty have left love here to die
F G C/G
Won't you stay and don't let this one fall away
OUTRO CHORUS
F
And I wanted you so much
G
Just like I do right now
Am G F
I wanted us to be the one the poets write their books about
Dm
I wanted it to last
F C
I wanted to grow old, but life got in the way
F
And I wanted you so much
G
Just like I do right now
Am G F
I wanted us to be the one the poets write their books about
Dm
I wanted it to last
F C
I wanted to grow old, but life got in the way
Am, G, C, Am F C G F Am C/G
Yeah well life got in the way

| i'm a loser & created an account just so i could comment on the fact that no one has commented on this song yet. it's incredible, and def. one of the best sister hazel songs... "it was everything in our first minute... We adored every little thing Every little thing would leave us breathless Every dawn split another day And in another day we weren't so restless" I think it's about a relationship that was rushed into... perfect for both of them, then eventually the initial amazingness (definitely a word) wore out for the girl... while the guy had long-term plans & felt deeper feelings... "how dare you not remember? how dare you walk away?" the song is relateable to in a 'more serious to me than it was to them' sort of way, and the lyrics are beautiful. i'm slowly becoming addicted to this site... and i've just joined :) | |

| i agree with all the above. at the same time though, i think this song is about the fact you can't predict what will happen and sometimes relationships do go wrong- not neccessarily because theres a problem in the relationship but because other things happen. hence the life got in the way. i absolutely adore this song. it may just be my favorite sister hazel, although its hard to choose...... | |

| there is only two comments!? meh! this songs is like so amazingly awesome! i guess this song is about people who once were madly in love and went out and shared every waking moment together and were oblivious to life. to reality. and now, they aren't together and the guy is gettin angry that she doesn't remember, she is blocking out all the things they shared. he still wants her, but maybe she still doesn't want him and he is hurt. but maybe things changed in their life, she moved away or something-so life go in the way. they could have been so perfect but like in every situation, things change and nothing is perfect. ahh i love 'em! | |
