[F][G][Am][F][G][Am]
[F][G][F][E]

[Verse 1]
The [Am]re
proach in your daughter's most [F]beautiful face
[G]Made me [Am]wonder just how she could [F]know
[G]Of that [Am]something that happened
between [F]you and me
[G]So much [Am]more than a long time [F]ago
[G]Her

[Verse 2]
mother, I can see, lives within [F]her still
[G]Cause she looked at me
with her [F]eyes[G]
Though I had only just [F]met her right then
I [E]feel that she peeled back my guilty
disguise
[Am][F][Am]

[Verse 3]
[F]
Did [Am]I break the thread,
or did [F]you break the thread?
Well at [Am]this point we
could ask who [F]cares
[Am]As for the promises br[F]oken
and [G]frayed[Am]
It's 19 years late for repair[F]s

[Verse 4]
grey pewter vase held
the deep red rose,
One piece of coral shone white,
By the brass candlestick
near your red velvet coat,

[Verse 5]
Will you [Am]please tell me why I
[F]re member these things
[G]After [Am]all of this time, I don't [F]know[G]
[Am]I must have left all
those [F]feelings inside
Cause that [Am]year I had no courage to [F]show

[Verse 6]
[G]Was I the name you could
nev[F]er pro[G]nounce?
Or did I even figure at [F]all?[G]
All of this happened before [F]she was [G]born
[F]Did [E]I shadow her young pencil

[Verse 7]
marks on the wall
[Am]Still I am sure I was only[F] but one
Of a [Am]number who darkened that [F]door
[G]Of your [Am]home and your hearth
and your [F]family and wife
[G]Who'd been [Am]darkened so often before

[Verse 8]
[F]Oh, the red[G] leaf looks to
the hard gray stone
To each other,
they know what they [F]mean[G]
Somewhere, their future is still [F]yet to come
In [E]ways that are yet as of now unfore[Em]seen
