Cmaj7 Bm7
There was that girl I used to know
Am7
She'd tease me about my name
Cmaj7/G Bm7/F#
Fan the embers long enough
[ch]Am7/E[/ch]
I sometimes catch her flame
Cmaj7 Bm7
The soothing voice of distance tells me
Am7
"That was just a fling"
Cmaj7/G Bm7/F#
Other music fills my ears
[ch]Am7/E[/ch]
But I still hear her sing, she sings

Cmaj7 Bm7
Paddy Joe, say Paddy Joe
Am7
Don't you remember me?
Cmaj7/G Bm7/F#
How long ago one gorgeous night
[ch]Am7/E[/ch]
We let the stars go
Cmaj7 Bm7
Paddy Joe, say Paddy Joe
Am7
Don't you remember me?
Cmaj7/G Bm7/F#
How long ago one gorgeous night
[ch]Am7/E[/ch] [Cmaj7]
We let the stars go free

Cmaj7 Bm7
There was a boy I used to be
Am7
I guess that he was cold
Cmaj7/G Bm7/F#
If she came to buy him now
[ch]Am7/E[/ch]
How cheaply he'd be sold
Cmaj7 Bm7
But the light is gone and it is dark
Am7
What used to be the sky
Cmaj7/G Bm7/F#
Is suddenly embarrassing
[ch]Am7/E[/ch]
To the naked eye, you see ...

Cmaj7 Bm7
Paddy Joe, see Paddy Joe
Am7
Can't face this memory
Cmaj7/G Bm7/F#
How long ago one gorgeous night
[ch]Am7/E[/ch]
We let the stars go
Cmaj7 Bm7
Paddy Joe, see Paddy Joe
Am7
Can't face this memory
Cmaj7/G Bm7/F#
How long ago one gorgeous night
[ch]Am7/E[/ch]
We let the stars go
Cmaj7 Bm7
Long ago one gorgeous night
[ch]Am7/E[/ch]
We let the stars go
Cmaj7 Bm7
Long ago one stupid night
Am7
We let the stars go free
