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

 Am7/E
I sometimes catch her flame
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7               Bm7
  The soothing voice of distance tells me

Am7
   "That was just a fling"

Cmaj7/G     Bm7/F#
 Other music fills my ears

   Am7/E
But I still hear her sing, she sings
[Chorus]
Cmaj7          Bm7
Paddy Joe, say Paddy Joe

     Am7
Don't you remember me?

Cmaj7/G          Bm7/F#
 How long ago one gorgeous night

   Am7/E
We let the stars go
[Chorus]
Cmaj7          Bm7
Paddy Joe, say Paddy Joe

     Am7
Don't you remember me?

Cmaj7/G          Bm7/F#
 How long ago one gorgeous night

   Am7/E            [ 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

   Am7/E
How cheaply he'd be sold
[Verse 4]
        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

Am7/E
 To the naked eye, you see ...
[Chorus]
Cmaj7          Bm7
Paddy Joe, see Paddy Joe

     Am7
Can't face this memory

Cmaj7/G          Bm7/F#
 How long ago one gorgeous night

   Am7/E
We let the stars go
[Chorus]
Cmaj7          Bm7
Paddy Joe, see Paddy Joe

     Am7
Can't face this memory

Cmaj7/G          Bm7/F#
 How long ago one gorgeous night

   Am7/E
We let the stars go

Cmaj7        Bm7
 Long ago one gorgeous night

   Am7/E
We let the stars go

Cmaj7         Bm7
  Long ago one stupid night

   Am7            [ Cmaj7 ]
We let the stars go free
