written by Uni and her Ukelele
verse
C
Somewhere in my wooden hope-chest waiting
F
far across the universe
Am F
behind a pile of rags that wipe the make-up away
Dm G7
soaked in tears for a day
C
A line from a postcard written rubbish
F
postdated years ago
Am F
It is your handwriting U never gave your word
Dm
the paper said U loved me
Am A9
I didn't know I didn't know
chorus:
F C
That time plays tricks on the memory
Am F
your rotten acts of punishment have left the scene
Dm
and now I
Ddim
Aye
F C
Remember U As Gold
instrumental
verse
C
As often as a red light flashing brightly
F
U follow me thru my sleep
Am F
In a garden tulips close their eyes
Dm G7
while the other Heathers like up in a row
C
Convince me your much better grown up Adult
F
Pleading give us one more try
Am
I want to believe in U
F
But I have grown up too
Dm Am
Then I kiss U and say good-bye
A9
I said Good-bye
Chorus:
F C
That time plays tricks on the memory
Am F
your rotten acts of punishment have left the scene
Dm
and now I
Ddim
Aye
Dm
Oh I
Ddim
Aye
Dm Am
Remember U As Gold
