Intro: GM7 CM7 GM7 CM7
GM7 CM7
On the top of my desk mid the clutter and dust
GM7 CM7
sits an old 5x8 black and white
GM7 CM7
It's one of my favorite pictures of us
C D
I'll carry with me all my life
Am7 D G
I must have been a-bout five or six
Am C G
Mom's hair was still brown and Dad's was still thick
C Em C G
But to look at it now some-times I get scared
C Em C D
To think that some-day they might not be there
C D G
'Cause who's gonna know but me
C D G C
Who'll help me recall those small mem-o-ries
Am D G C
I'm all that's left of this family of three
Am D GM7 CM7
Who's gonna know but me?
GM7 CM7
Down in the cellar under the steps
GM7 CM7
Sits an old box of junk that I've saved
GM7 CM7
Newspaper clippings, letters and cards
C D
Even some code-a-phone tapes
Am7 D G
Slices of life I can hold in my hand
Am C G
And show to my kids so they might under-stand
C Em C G
In those years to come when they ask me some night
C Em C D
What Grandma and Grandpa used to be like
C D G
'Cause who's gonna know but me
C D G C
Who'll help me recall those small mem-o-ries
Am D G C
I'm all that's left of this family of three
Am D G
Who's gonna know but me?
Bm CM7
If life were a video I could rewind
Bm CM7
I'd go back and slow down each moment in time
Bm C G
Then I'd disconnect the fast forward button
C G C D
So I'd have for-ever to tell 'em I love 'em
C G C D
The older I get, I can't get enough of 'em
C D G
'Cause who's gonna know but me
C D G C
Who'll help me recall all those mem-o-ries
Am D G C
I'm all that's left of this family of three
Am D G
Who's gonna know but me?
C D G
Who's gonna know but me?
