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
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

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
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
        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 ...

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
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
We let the stars go free
