[Intro]
Ebm11/F Ebm11 Ebm11/F Ebm11
[Verse]
Ebm11/F Ebm11
We were still living downtown
Ebm11/F Ebm11
My black coat thrown over my blue nightgown
Ebm11/F
You drove too fast
Ddim7 Gb/Db Ab7/C Dbsus/Ab
The lights of the city flew past
[Chorus]
Gb9 Gbsus Db7/Gb
How could I ever forget?
Gb9 Db9/F
Outside the morning was cool and wet
Dbm/Fb Ebm7
He had such chills
D+ Db7sus Ab7/C Cdim7 Ab7/C
But still he lay there so still
[Verse]
Cb5 Db/Cb
Just eighteen months old
Cbm(maj7) Cbm6 Fb13
So cold
Gb9/Db
We ran him inside
Bbsus Bb7 Ebm Ab/C
Lost, worrying, wondering
Abm7 Cbm(maj7) Db7
That hospital room, that gloom
[Chorus]
Gb9 Gbsus
How could I ever forget?
Gb9
Screaming at doctors
Db/F
Alarmed, upset
E6 Ebm7
They said to wait
Dmaj7 Gb/Db Ab9/C
They never said we were too late
[Verse]
Cb2
But I was a child
(So many years ago)
Cbm6
Raising a child
(So much we could not know)
Gb9/Db
Those weeks full of joy
Bb7sus Bb7 Ebm11 Ab9/C
Then a moment of dread
Abm9 Db2
Someone simply said your child is...
[Chorus]
Gb9 Db7sus/Gb
How could I ever forget?
Gb9 Db7sus/Gb
This was the moment my life was set
Gb Ab7sus/F
That day that I lost you
Gbsus/E Ebm7 D6
It's clear as the day we met
Db7 Ebm11/F Ebm11 Gb
How could I ever forget?
