high
D walk intro I am not good with names,
I won't forget you all the same.
The way you looked, standing in one shoes.
My coat too big, for you.

D walk A rainy night on Market Street,
We had just come out of Trader Joe's.
Reflections on the sidewalk were brighter than the sky.
You stood on the bench on your toes.
--
Bb - C - D I said the words I love you,
Bb - C - D Your smile so big it filled your eyes.
Bb - C - F - Bb Aimless steps, chasing silhuoettes.
Riff (D) Your's is the one I won't forget.

|| Dh (Harmonics) - D/B - Am/G - Gm/F - riff ||

G 7- D You are reason I write love songs,
G7 - D I don't write songs of regret.
Bb - C - F - Bb I write songs - that remind me of you.
Riff (D) You are the one I won't forget.

Bb - C - D You are my church on Sunday,
Bb - C - D You are My Friday's best bet.
Bb - C - F - Bb You are my Garden on Tuesday afternoon,
Riff (D) You are the one I won't forget.

G 7- D You are the reason I remember.
G 7- D You are the reason I forget
Bb - C - F - Bb The daylight shines on my memories with you
Riff (D) You are the one I won't Forget (2x)
----
D walk outro You wore my coat, when I carried you home.
Your legs kicking out, left one shoe gone.
Your lipstick case, is still in my coat.
The one I have not washed.

So, when I get home don't go checking in my pockets,
Don't go checking if my coat is clean.
Put that shoe back on the shelf,
Let my old coat remind me.
