Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town
Pearl Jam

[Verse 1]
D Cadd9   G              Cadd9 G
I seem to recognize your face
D    Cadd9  G                  Cadd9   G       
Haunting familiar, yet I can't seem to place it
D        Cadd9  G                    Cadd9      G   
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
D    Cadd9    G                Cadd9 G
Lifetimes are catchin' up with me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
C        A               C    
All these changes taking place
  A                  C   
I wish I'd seen the place
    A             Em      
But no one's ever taken me

[Chorus]
D          Cadd9         G     Cadd9 G  
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
D          Cadd9         G     Cadd9 G  
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away

[Verse 2]
D Cadd9   G              Cadd9 G
I swear I recognise your breath
D    Cadd9     G                Cadd9  G      
Memories, like fingerprints are slowly raising
D       Cadd9      G             Cadd9  G     
Me, you wouldn't recall, for I'm not my former
D           Cadd9     G              Cadd9G
It's hard when you're stuck upon the shelf

[Pre-Chorus 2]
C            A               C  
I changed by not changing at all
      A                C   
Small town predicts my fate
   A                       Em          
Perhaps that's what no one wants to see

[Bridge]
D      Cadd9   G           Cadd9 G
I just want to scream, "hello!"
D  Cadd9     G                   Cadd9         G     
My god, it's been so long, never dreamed you'd return
D       Cadd9    G       Cadd9  G 
But now here you are and here I am
D          Cadd9         G    Cadd9 G
Hearts and thoughts they fade away

[Chorus]
D          Cadd9         G     Cadd9 G  
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
D          Cadd9         G     Cadd9 G  
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
D          Cadd9         G     Cadd9 G
Hearts and thoughts they fade, away
D          Cadd9         G     Cadd9 G                
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away (3x fade out)
