We met, of all places, 
C                               F
In front of Gristedes some freakishly cold winters day.
           Gm                           A
I had on several unflattering layers of wool.
        D               Dm                      Bm
He slipped on the ice with his grocery bags full,
        G                               D               Bm
So I rescued some Fruit Loops he dropped by the curb
        Em                              G
And he made some remark that my smile was superb
        D                       G
I thought that was sweet and I started to go and he said
D
"Hey, whatcha doing tomorrow?'
            Bm  A
'Because I'll be here
        Bm                          G                  D 
At the corner of Bleaker and Mercer tomorrow at 7.
        A                       Bm
If you want to meet up, I'll be waiting right here,
        C               G          D#           F               C
And in case there are two fellas waiting for you, my name's John."
                                F
He waved and then he was gone.
Em A# C C
F                         Am
Needless to say I went back there to meet him
F                       D
Mostly to see if he'd show, and there he was
Gm                         A
Out in the cold with his jacket pulled tight.
       D                Dm              Bm
He took me to dinner and kissed me goodnight.
        G                                   D      Bm
The next week we went to this terrible play.
          Em                            G
And the week after that drank hot chocolate all day.
        D                               G
And suddenly, eight or nine months had flown by when he said
D
"Hey, whatcha doing the rest of your life?'
            Bm  A
'Because I'll be here
        Bm                          G                 
Right beside you as long as you want me to be.
                D
There's no question.
        A                       Bm
There is nothing I've wanted so much in my life.
        C               G          D#           F               C
This might sound immature but I'm totally sure you're the one."
                        C
And we had just begun.
G                                       F
We got hitched in September, our favorite month,
        C                               G
With a rock band that played in this old synagogue.
          D#                            A#                   F                          C
And we bought an apartment on West 17th street and talked about children and getting a dog.
        A               D
Our first anniversary came in a flash
              F#                       
And we promised to take the day off.
                      D                 F#
He had to stop into his office that morning,
                                        B
And so I went walking uptown to this bakery I know.
 A#                                                    C
When I heard on the street what I thought was a joke
        Bm
Till I noticed the sirens and saw all the smoke.
        A#
So I'm running back home with this feeling of dread
        Dm              A#           Dm
To the voicemail he left with the last words he said.
F C
      F                                                                   Gm
I'm sorry, I don't mean to ruin your evening by bringing up all of this stuff.
                   Gm                       A
You're probably wondering why I even called you tonight.
         Am                              Bm
Well today something happened That spooked me alright.
              C                         D
I saw this storm cloud of papers fall down from the sky,
        Bm                      Em
And I thought of that day and I started to cry.
            C                           G
When as sure as I breath I heard John clear as day saying
 D
"Hey, you're allowed to move on. It's okay.'
            Bm  A
'Because I'll be here
        Bm                    G                 D             
Even if you decide to get rid of my favorite sweater.
         A                            Bm
Even if you go out on my birthday 
                        C         G             D#            F              C
