Intro
G
Verse 1
G C D
On a night just like this, in a place far away
G D G D
He met with a girl in the spring
G Em Bm
And something about him just turned her around
D G D
As though she were caught on a string
G Em C
And being so young they held on to each other
D G D
To see what the moment might bring
Verse 2
G C D
He loved her then in a secretive way
G D G D
Not showing his care or his need
G Em Bm
She stayed beside him and looked to the day
D G D
He would somehow begin to be free
G Em C
In the chill of the night she would hold him and say
D G
This is how they always should be
Chorus
Em D Em D
Rocks in the ocean, waves on the sea
G G7 C
Keep it in mind if love comes unsatisfied
F C G
Don't forget me, don't forget me
Interlude
G F Em D
G F Em D
C Bm Am
Verse 3
G C D D/C
And so he came to depend on her more
G D G D
Though the lesson was still to be learned
G Em Bm
Taking for granted the gift that she gave
D D/C G D
As though it were something he'd earned
G Em C
And she for her part growing slowly away
D D/C G D
From a love that was never returned
Chorus 4
G C D D/C
And then came the day that he never foresaw
G D G D
When he woke to find she was gone
G Em Bm
He followed her then to the ends of the world
D D/C G D
To tell her how much he'd been wrong
G Em C
But the more he called her, the more she was lost
D D/C G
Leaving only the words of her song
Chorus
Em D Em D
Rocks in the ocean, waves on the sea
G G7 C
Keep it in mind if love comes unsatisfied
F C G
Don't forget me, don't forget me

Chorus 5
G C D D/C
He still listens out for her foot on the stair
G D G D
As he looks for her down through the years
G Em Bm
And the friends that he had have all left one by one
D D/C G D
For their words weren't reaching his ears
G Em C
He chooses instead now to wander alone
D D/C G
To a song that only he hears
Chorus
Em D Em D
Rocks in the ocean, waves on the sea
G G7 C
Keep it in mind if love comes unsatisfied
F C G
Don't forget me, don't forget me
Outro

Don't forget me
G F Em D
