Capo III [Intro] G Dm7 G Dm7 [Verse 1]
G                Dm7
In sixteen fifty six

G                    Dm7
You used to get your kicks

G                         Dm7         G
When we pulled off on the side of the road

                    Dm7
Unbuckle, then we’d buckle

G                  Dm7
Give a hoot then a chuckle

G                 Dm7         G
That Toyota could tow quite a load

Em
In sixteen sixty seven

Am
At thirteen past eleven

D                                  G
You’re falling fast asleep in your seat

Em
My hands on the wheel

Am
It’s beginning to feel

D                                  G
That I’ll never again veer off the street
[Chorus 1]
G        Dm7
Remember when

G          Dm7
I was your refuge

G        Dm7
Remember when

G          Dm7
I was your star

C
Now I’m stuck felling blue

D7
Because it’s all true

G                    Dm7
That I still find my refuge

G               Dm7
I still find my refuge

G               Dm7
I still find my refuge

G
In you
[Verse 2]
G                  Dm7
In eighteen eighty two

G                 Dm7
The sky was still blue

G                 Dm7          G
And the night was awash in the stars

                 Dm7
You’d stay by my side

G                    Dm7
At nighttime as we’d ride

G                    Dm7             G
In a bubble floating through all the bars

Em
In nineteen-O-three

Am
You’re still out with me

D                                        G
But the bubble’s long since burst with a splash

Em
You talk and you flirt

Am
And boy does it hurt

D                                 G
When I see at the speed which you dash
[Chorus 2]
G        Dm7
Remember when

G          Dm7
I was your refuge

G        Dm7
Remember when

G          Dm7
I was your star

C
Now the mockingbird coos

D7
A sad song anew

G                     Dm7
Cause I still find my refuge

G               Dm7
I still find my refuge

G               Dm7
I still find my refuge

G
In you
[Bridge] C Em C Em Am D [Verse 3]
G                  Dm7
In nineteen ninety eight

G               Dm7
My heart didn’t hate

G              Dm7             G
Didn’t envy or wish it weren’t so

                  Dm7
Didn’t hold on to things

G                     Dm7
That were dead on the string

G                   Dm7           G
Didn’t hold out for what I didn’t know

Em
In two thousand nine

Am
Our souls have been entwined

D                              G
To each other for thousands of years

Em
By chance or by luck

Am
Together we’ve stuck

D                             G
Through myriad moonlights and tears
[Chorus 3]
G        Dm7
Remember when

G          Dm7
I was your refuge

G        Dm7
Remember when

G          Dm7
I was your star

C
But the time it did flew

D7
And apart we did grew

G                   Dm7
But I still find my refuge

G               Dm7
I still find my refuge

G               Dm7
I still find my refuge

G
In you
[Outro] G Dm7 G Dm7 G Dm7 G
