When You Could Still Remember

G   D Em   C   D G



[Verse 1]

G              D       Em
If I could go back in time
     C                         D          G
I'd rock a little longer on a back porch night
    G                  D     Em
I'd ask you all about every thing
     C                              D       G
The pictures on your wall and your wedding ring



[Chorus]

               C                             G
Sorry I ain't called, and that I ain't been back
                D                                  Em
I really wanna see you, but then leaving hurts too bad
                          C                                G  D Em D
Guess it makes me kind of angry, yeah it makes me kind of sad
               C
That I didn't spend more time with you
                     D
Back when you could still remember who

I am

G   D Em   C   D G



[Verse 2]

             G                         D         Em
You used to burn your toast while you said your prayers
     C                    D       G
Yeah I can still see you sitting there
          G                     D      Em
Now your hair's more white than it is grey
             C                 D            G
They got you all cooped up in this strange place



[Chorus]

               C                             G
Sorry I ain't called, and that I ain't been back
                D                                  Em
I really wanna see you, but then leaving hurts too bad
                          C                                G  D Em D
Guess it makes me kind of angry, yeah it makes me kind of sad
               C
That I didn't spend more time with you
                     D
Back when you could still remember who
   G
I am


[Bridge]

       C                           Bm
Green beans and mashed potatoes, staring out the window
   Am                             G
I don't know where your mind has gone
          C
You don't even recognize me
         G           D     Em     D
But I'm happy that you're smiling
              Am                          D
I guess I'll take what I can get from now on



[Chorus]

               C                             G
Sorry I ain't called, and that I ain't been back
                D                                  Em
I really wanna see you, but then leaving hurts too bad
                          C                                G  D Em D
Guess it makes me kind of angry, yeah it makes me kind of sad
               C
That I didn't spend more time with you
                     D
Back when you could still remember who
               C
That I didn't spend more time with you
                     D
Back when you could still remember who

I am
