Hayes Carll - Help Me Remember Chords

[intro]
D

[verse 1]
     D
The leaves on that ancient
                              G
old oak tree are starting to turn
          A
The same shades as the flames of
                             D
this fire that I'm watching burn
  D
There's an unfinished crossword resting
                      G
on the arm of this chair
  A
And for the life of me
                                     G      D
I can't recall if I'm the one that left it there

[verse 2]
 D
It feels so familiar
                               G
 as I watch you walk in the room
  A
And at first I don't recognise
                                           D
you but then I damn sure recognise that perfume
 D
And you kneel down beside me
                            G
and gently take hold of my hand
  A
I say baby I'm scared
                               D
and I'm not sure I know who I am

[chorus 1]
         G
And can you help mе remember
                          D
who it is that I usеd to be?
             G
And can you tell me the story of my family,
                    D
my hopes and my dreams?
     G
Did I try to stand for something,

would I always fold?
       D
Did I do things when

I was young to be proud of when I was old?
 Bm
Was our house on fire or
    A                         G
was I just a slow burning ember?
          D         A               D
Could you please help me remember?

[verse 3]
      D
This ring on my finger is golden,
            G
faded and worn
              A                D
Like it was forged in the fires of
   A                         D
love and it's weathered the storms
 D
I try to make sense of
                               G
these old photographs on the wall
                 D
But they're just faces
                A        D
and places that I don't know at all

[chorus 2]
            G
And can you help me remember,
                          D
I feel like I'm losing my mind
  G
I know there's a story,
                       D
it's getting harder to find
    G
Did I protect my children,

stand up for my friends?
         D
How much damage did I do,

did I ever make amends?
      G
Did I try to make a difference,

did I give a damn?
 D                             A
Was I believer in God and His plan?
      Bm
Did I light up your life
        A                      G
like a full moonlight night in December?
          D     A
Could you please help me remember?
Bm      D  A                  D
 I need you to help me remember

[outro]
G  Bm  G  Bm  G  Bm  G  D  G  D  G  D  G  D
