Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

On the top of my desk mid the clutter and dust

sits an old 5x8 black and white

It's one of my favorite pictures of us

I'll carry with me all my life

I must have been a-bout five or six

Mom's hair was still brown and Dad's was still thick

But to look at it now some-times I get scared

To think that some-day they might not be there

'Cause who's gonna know but me

Who'll help me recall those small mem-o-ries

I'm all that's left of this family of three

Who's gonna know but me?

Down in the cellar under the steps

Sits an old box of junk that I've saved

Newspaper clippings, letters and cards

Even some code-a-phone tapes

Slices of life I can hold in my hand

And show to my kids so they might under-stand

In those years to come when they ask me some night

What Grandma and Grandpa used to be like

'Cause who's gonna know but me

Who'll help me recall those small mem-o-ries

I'm all that's left of this family of three

Who's gonna know but me?

If life were a video I could rewind

I'd go back and slow down each moment in time

Then I'd disconnect the fast forward button

So I'd have for-ever to tell 'em I love 'em

The older I get, I can't get enough of 'em

'Cause who's gonna know but me

Who'll help me recall all those mem-o-ries

I'm all that's left of this family of three

Who's gonna know but me?

Who's gonna know but me?
