You Remind Me – Mick Thomas

Capo 5

Intro: Am, Em, Am, G,  Am, Em, Am, G

Am                Em                         F                      D                  Am
Maybe it’s the way her hair hung down across the collar of her dress
Am                 Em                        F                         G
Maybe it’s the way that she was laughing with her friends
Am                              Em                F                         D                    Am         
She was too young and I could see a thing with which I shouldn’t really mess
Am               Em                    F                      G                    F          G
But when I’d finished playing I was glad she’d stayed until the end
Am              G
I said to my friend

F            G
She Reminds me
                    C    C/b    Am7    A/g  
Of someone that I used to know
            F             G
She reminds me
           Am   G    C      G
Of someone I knew long ago
           Am   G    C      G
Of someone that I used to know

Am, Em, Am, G,  Am, Em, Am, G

The band were laughing at the way I quickly packed up all my stuff
Somebody said that I was rising for a fall
When she laughed at nearly every word I said, it was enough
Her friends were laughing too, I got the biggest laugh of all
When I said, You know

You remind me
Of someone that I used to know
You remind me
Of someone I knew long ago
Of someone that I used to know

F		         G
I couldn’t put my finger on it
B7			  F			  
Thought I’d give anything to know
She strung me along for near an hour
Then she said she had to go, and by the way
Her mother said to say hello
Her mother said to say hello, hello, hello…

And in an instant 20 years just turned to dust
And I thought back to one summer and a squalid room I’d shared
With a girl who’d just left university, but knew it all
Well she left me for some other life, but I’m still standing here
And it’s surprising what you can see when the lights are focused right
All of the demons and the ghosts you might have met along the way
I told her to tell her mum that we should catch up one night
Really I was glad that we were flying out next day
After all, to her what could I say

You remind me
Of someone that I used to know
You remind me
Of someone I knew long ago
Of someone that I used to know
