                   Am                     G

1. Yeah, I know who you remind me of,

        Am                            G

    a girl I think I used to know,

                   Am                                       G

    yeah, I’d see her when the days got colder,

                    Am                              G

    on those days when it felt like snow.

 

               C                                        G

    You know, I even think that she stared like you,

            C                                            G

    she used to just stand there and stare,

           Am                                   G

    and roll her eyes right up to heaven,

              Am                              G

    and make like I just wasn’t there.

 

Am                                 D

    And she used to fall down a lot,

       Am                                  D

that girl was always falling again and again,

         - C                                           G

and I       used to sometimes try to catch her,

       Am                                 G

but never even caught her name.

             Am                                             G

2. And sometimes we would spend the night,

           Am                            G

    just rolling about on the floor,

                    Am                                    G

    and I remember even though it felt soft at the time,

       Am                                  G

    I always used to wake up sore.

 

               C                                        G

    You know I even think that she smiled like you,

            C                                              G

    she used to just stand there and smile,

                 Am                                     G

    and her eyes would go all sorts of far away

            Am                                   G

    and stay like that for quite a while.

 

Am                                 D

    And she used to fall down a lot,

       Am                                  D

that girl was always falling again and again,

         - C                                           G

and I       used to sometimes try to catch her,

       Am                                 G

but never even caught her name.

+  Yes, I sometimes even tried to catch her,

             Am                                G

    but I never even caught her name.
