I [A]know there was something
That I needed to be [A7]doing
But for the [D]life of me
I can’t remember [A]what
[A]Something important
That much I re[A7]member
But [B7]not so much
That I don’t know [E7]but
I [A7]figure if I just sit here
And [D]think about it for a [D7]spell
I’ll [A7]remember what it [E7]was
I was supposed to be [D7]doing [A7]
So I’m here [D]ruminating
So I’m here [A]contemplating
So I’m here [B7]vegetating
But I’m getting
[E]nothing
[E7]It’s [A]not about my wife
Or picking her [A7]something up
And not about [D]work
I leave my work thoughts [A]there
It’s [A]not about the kids
Or they’d have [A7]called by now
It’s not about my [B7]friends
Most of them haven’t got a [E7]care
But I just [A7]can’t for the life of me
Re[D]call just what it [D7]was
[A7]But it was real im[E7]portant
And now I just can’t re[D7]member [A7]
Oh I almost [D]had it
Oh there it [A]isn’t
Not there [B7]either
Well this ain’t
[E]working
[E7][A]So I’ve decided to stop
Trying to remem[A7]ber
Because it’s [D]not helping
And I don’t know what to [A]do
If [A]I try not thinking
About what I for[A7]got
It might [B7]just come to me
Clear out of the [E7]blue
What [A7]time is it any way
I [D]guess I should be heading [D7]home
Who [A7]knows they might [E7]know
At home what I can’t [D7]remember [A7]
