[Verse]
G D C D G D C D
Lately Grace hasen't been herself and he's noticed the change
G D C D
Like forgetting friends they have known for years
G D C D
And misplacing all her things
C Bm Am Am7 C D
He'd make a joke they'd both laugh and blame it on old age
G D C D Am D G
But it's not funny anymore she can't remember his name
[Chorus]
C Bm D G
He believes way down deep she still knows who he is
C Bm Am Am7 C D
Forty years of memories just can't disappear like this
C Bm D Em
The doctors say it's hopeless her past has been erased
C G D
But he'll spend the rest of his life saving Grace
G D C D G D C D
Raised five kids on farmers pay Vietnam took a son
G D C D G D C D
But watching Grace live like this is the hardest thing he's done
C Bm Am Am7 C D
He sits there by her bed sometimes while she's fast asleep
G D C D Am D G
And tell her all about herself strokes her hair and weeps
[Chorus]
C Bm D G
He believes way down deep she still knows who he is
C Bm Am Am7 C D
Forty years of memories just can't disappear like this
C Bm D Em
The doctors say it's hopeless her past has been erased
C G D G
But he'll spend the rest of his life saving Grace
C F C
The woman that he's loved for years
G C G
Is trapped somewhere in the pain
C Bm
Tonight he swears she smiled at him
Am Am7 C D
And almost spoke his name
[Chorus]
C Bm D G
He believes way down deep she still knows who he is
C Bm Am Am7 C D
Forty years of memories just can't disappear like this
C Bm D Em
The doctors say it's hopeless her past has been erased
C G D Eb D Eb D
But he'll spend the rest of his like saving Grace
G D C D G
Lately Grace hasen't been herself
