We were still living [D#m]
downtown
My [A#m] black coat thrown over [D#m] my blue nightgown
[F#] You drove [D#m] too fast
[B] the lights [C#] of the city [G#] flew past
[C#] [F#]
How could I ever [C#] forget?
[F#]
Outside the morning [C#] was cool and wet
[C#m] He [D#m] had such chills [C#m] but still [F#] he lay [G#] there so still
Just 18 [B] months old
So [Bm] cold
We [E]
[F#] ran him inside [A#] Lost
[Dm] [D#m] worrying wondering [C] But [C#] hospital
[G#m] [F#] [C#] [F#]

Screaming at doctors
But I [C#] was so upset
[C#m] They [D#m] seemed to wait
[D] You'd think this would [F#] help
But [C] it won't
But [B] I was a child
So [C#] many years
[B] [Bm] So much we've gone I know
[B] Those weeks [F#] of
[G#] [A#] [D#m]
[C] Dread
Someone simply [F#]
said
[G#m] [F#] [C#] Your child is
[F#] How could I ever [G#m] forget?
How [F#] could I ever forget?
This was the moment
[B] My life was [F#] set
That day that [Fm] I lost you

How
[G#m] [C#] could I ever
Fool You
