[Verse 1]

I’ll think about the way you’ll think about me when we’re old
Bm                                                                         A
Always thought that we could be the greatest story ever told
D                                                                                           G
But there’s a rock inside my sock I’ll keep on walking ’cause it’s cold
Bm
And I can’t stop the clock from ticking
A
I know it’s just the beginning

[Chorus]
D
Don’t forget
G
This story’s not over yet
Bm
Timepass like a cigarette
A
Turning into smoke between our fingers
D
Tell me you won’t forget

Remember the night we met

we were like an old cassette
A
And I’ll be the song that’s on your speakers playing for

I have to wonder why I wonder how I’ll feel in thirty years
Bm                                                       A
About the time to spent together will the memories disappear
D                                                                                           G
It might sound crazy but my baby, that’s the thing I most fear
Bm
Oh I can’t stop the world from spinning
A
I know that it’s just the beginning

[Chorus]
D
Don’t forget
G
This story’s not over yet
Bm
Timepass like a cigarette
A
Turning into smoke between our fingers
D
Tell me you won’t forget
G
Remember the night we met
Bm
we were like an old cassette
A
And I’ll be the song that’s on your speakers playing for

You, you, you, playing for
G                                     Bm
you, you, you, playing for you
A
And I’ll be the song that’s on your speakers

[Bidge]
Bm                                                     G
And If one day the image starts to fade
D                                                       A
Don’t worry babe, that would be okay
Bm                                     G
I’ll give you all the memories I’ve saved
D
Just leave me with a picture
A
Just a picture of your face

Don’t forget

This story’s not over yet

Timepass like a cigarette

Turning into smoke between our fingers

Tell me you won’t forget

Remember the night we met
Bm
we were like an old cassette
A
And I’ll be the song that’s on your speakers playing for
D
You, you, you, playing for
G                                     Bm
you, you, you, playing for you
A
And I’ll be the song that’s on your speakers
