Version 1
            [Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
                    G
I’ve been down this road before
                 Am
I remember every tree
             D
Every single blade of grass
                          G
Holds a special place for me
               G
And I remember every town
                Am
And every hotel room
                 D
And every song I ever sang
                  G
On a guitar out of tune
[Chorus 1]
           C
I remember everything
                  G
Things I can’t forget
                       A7
The way you turned and smiled on me
                           D
On the night that we first met
               C
And I remember every night
                   G
Your ocean eyes of blue
                      D/F#
How I miss you in the morning light
                  G
Like roses miss the dew
[Instrumental]
C   G   D/F# D7/F# G
[Verse 2]
                    G
I’ve been down this road before
               Am
Alone as I can be
               D
Careful not to let my past
                  G
Go sneaking up on me
                    G
Got no future in my happiness
                        Am
Though regrets are very few
                   D
Sometimes a little tenderness
                          G
Was the best that I could do
[Chorus 2]
           C
I remember everything
                  G
Things I can’t forget
                A7
Swimming pools of butterflies
                             D
That slipped right through the net
               C
And I remember every night
                   G
Your ocean eyes of blue
                      D/F#
How I miss you in the morning light
                  G
Like roses miss the dew
                      D/F#
How I miss you in the morning light
                  G    C  G
Like roses miss the dew
