Pearl Jam - Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town
Key: D
[Verse]
D Cadd9 G - I seem to recognize
Cadd9 - G - your face
D Cadd9 G - Haunting, familiar, yet
Cadd9 - G - I can't seem to place it
D Cadd9 G - Cannot find the candle of thought
Cadd9 - G - to light your name
D Cadd9 G - Lifetimes are catching up
Cadd9 - G - with me
[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9 - All these
Asus2 - | Cadd9 - changes taking place
Asus2 - | Cadd9 - I wish I'd seen the place
Asus2 - | Em --- But no one's ever taken me
[Chorus 1]
D Cadd9 G - Hearts and thoughts they fade,
Cadd9 - G - fade away
D Cadd9 G - Hearts and thoughts they fade,
Cadd9 - G - fade away
[Verse]
D Cadd9 G - I swear I recognize
Cadd9 - G - your breath
D Cadd9 G - Memories like fingerprints
Cadd9 - G - are slowly raising
D Cadd9 G - Me you wouldn't recall
Cadd9 - G - for I'm not my former
D Cadd9 G - It's hard when you're stuck upon
Cadd9 - G - the shelf
[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9 - I changed
Asus2 - | Cadd9 - by not changing at all
Asus2 - | Cadd9 - Small town predicts my fate
Asus2 - | Em --- Perhaps that's what no one wants to see
[Chorus 2]
D Cadd9 G - I just wanna scream
Cadd9 - G - "Hello!"
D Cadd9 G - My God it's been so long
Cadd9 - G - Never dreamed you'd return
D Cadd9 G - But now here you are,
Cadd9 - G - and here I am
D Cadd9 G - Hearts and thoughts they fade
Cadd9 - G - away
[Outro]
D Cadd9 G - (1) Hearts and thoughts they fade
Cadd9 - G - fade away
D Cadd9 G - (2) Hearts and thoughts they fade
Cadd9 - G - fade away
D Cadd9 G - (3) Hearts and thoughts they fade
Cadd9 - G - a...way
D Cadd9 G - (4) Hearts and thoughts they fade
Cadd9 - G - fade away
D Cadd9 G - (5) Hearts and thoughts they fade
Cadd9 - G - fade away
D Cadd9 G - (6) Hearts and thoughts they fade
Cadd9 - G - fade away
(Fade...) (7) Hearts and thoughts they fade
