All Too Well 10 Minute Version
[intro]
C G Am F
C G Am F
[verse 1]
C
I walked through the door with you,
G
the air was cold
Am F
But somethin' 'bout it felt like home somehow
C
And I left my scarf there
G
at your sister's house
Am
And you've still got it
F
in your drawer, even now
[interlude]
C G Am F
[verse 2]
C G
Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze
Am F
We're singing in the car, getting lost upstate
C
Autumn leaves falling down
G
like pieces into place
Am F
And I can picture it after all these days
[pre-chorus]
C
And I know it's long gone and
G
That magic's not here no more
Am G
And I might be okay, but I'm not fine at all
F G F/C G
Oh, oh, oh
[chorus]
C
'Causе there we arе again
G
on that little town street
Am
You almost ran the red
F
'cause you were lookin' over at me
C
Wind in my hair, I was there
G Am F
I remember it all too well
[verse 3]
C
Photo album on the counter,
G
your cheeks were turning red
Am
You used to be a little kid
F
with glasses in a twin-sized bed
C
And your mother's telling stories
G
'bout you on the tee-ball team
Am
You taught me 'bout your past,
F
thinking your future was me
C
And you were tossing me the car keys
G Am
"Fuck the patriarchy" keychain on the ground
F
We were always skipping town
C
And I was thinking on the drive down
G Am
Any time now, he's gonna say it's love
F
You never called it what it was
C
'Til we were dead and gone and buried
G
Check the pulse and come back
Am
Swearing it's the same
F
After three months in the grave
C
And then you wondered where it went to
G
As I reached for you
Am
But all I felt was shame
F
And you held my lifeless frame
[pre-chorus]
C
And I know it's long gone and
G
There was nothing else I could do
Am
And I forget about you long enough
G F G C G
To forget why I needed to
[chorus]
C
'Cause here we are again
G
in the middle of the night
Am
We're dancing 'round the kitchen
F
in the refrigerator light
C
Down the stairs, I was there
G Am F
I remember it all too well
C
And there we are again
G
When nobody had to know
Am
You kept me like a secret
F
But I kept you like an oath
C
Sacred prayer and we'd swear
G Am F
To remember it all too well, yeah
[instrumental]
C G Am F G G
[bridge]
C
Well maybe we got lost in translation
G
Maybe I asked for too much
Am
But maybe this thing was a masterpiece
F
'Til you tore it all up
C
Running scared, I was there
G Am F
I remember it all too well
C
And you call me up again
G
Just to break me like a promise
Am F
So casually cruel in the name of being honest
C G
I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
Am F
'Cause I remember it all, all, all
[verse 4]
C
They say "All's well that ends well"
G Am
But I'm in a new hell every time
F
You double-cross my mind
C G
You said if we had been closer in age
Am
Maybe it would have been fine
F
And that made me want to die
C
The idea you had of me, who was she?
G Am
a never-needy, ever lovely jewel
F
Whose shine reflects on you
C
Not weeping in a party bathroom
G
Some actress asking me what happened
Am
You
F
That's what happened: you
C
You, who charmed
G
my dad with self-effacing jokes
Am
Sipping coffee like
F
you were on a late night show
C
But then he watched me watch the front door
G
all night, willing you to come
Am
And he said, "it's supposed to be fun…
F
Turning 21"
[interlude]
C G Am F
[verse 5]
C G
Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it
Am
I'd like to be my old self again,
F
but I'm still trying to find it
C
After plaid shirt days and nights
G
when you made me your own
Am
Now you mail back
F
my things and I walk home alone
C
But you keep my old scarf
G
from that very first week
Am
'Cause it reminds you
F
of innocence and it smells like me
C
You can't get rid of it
G Am F
'Cause you remember it all too well, yeah
[chorus]
C G
'Cause there we are again when I loved you so
Am
Back before you lost
F
the one real thing you've ever known
C
It was rare, I was there
G Am F
I remember it all too well
[post-chorus]
C
Wind in my hair, you were there
G
You remember it all
Am
Down the stairs, you were there
F
You remember it all
C
It was rare, I was there
G Am F
I remember it all too well
[verse 6]
C
And I was never good at telling jokes
Am
But the punchline goes:
F G
"I'll get older, but your lovers stay my age"
C Am
From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones
F G
I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight
C Am
And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue?
F
Just between us,
G
did the love affair maim you too?
F F
Cause in this city's barren cold
G G
I still remember the first fall of snow
F
And how it glistened as it fell
F C Am
I remember it all too well
F G
Just between us did the love affair maim you
C Am
All too well
F G
Just between us, do you remember it
C Am
All too well
F G C
Just between us, I remember it all too well
[outro]
Am
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
F G
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
C Am
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
F G
It was rare, you remember it (all too well)
C Am
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
F G
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
C Am
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
F G
It was rare, you remember it
C Am
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
F G
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
C Am
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
F G
It was rare, you remember it
C Am
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
F G
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
