CHORUS
G C G C
Agnieszka,
F G
Darling, I know you don’t want my name anymore
G C G C
But Agnieszka,
F G
I hope it’s okay that your name is the same as a song
C
Called Agnieszka
VERSE 1:
Em Am
Agnieszka, at least we can say
F C
That we were wise in ways the world will never prize
Am
Though you know I’ve
F
Been wondering what you plan to tell the children:
Fm C
Tell them that the fault was no one but mine.
Em Edim
I might have been blind too many times
F Fm G C G C (CHORUS chords)
But at least the memories are still with me, Agnieszka
I don’t know how to make do without you in my life
But Agnieszka,
I have to admit all we did was just fussing and fighting
Agnieszka
Musical interlude over verse chords
C
...Tell them that the fault was no one but mine
EM Edim
I might have been blind too many times
F Fm Am
But at least the memories are still with me, Agnieszka
BRIDGE:
Am
And time will show us
Em
How a cradle can become a cross
Bm
So carry on
F
But I don’t carry the weight
C
So darling don’t wait too long
Santa must have seen me
Cause I didn’t get what I wished for for Christmas
For so long
But I don’t need to be right
In order to write this song
CHORUS chords
Agnieszka,
I don’t know which is more vicious: this weather tonight
Or, Agnieszka,
The fact that you won’t let them see me leaving for my flight
O Agnieszka
VERSE 2:
Agnieszka, at least we can say
We were better than those who place their hope in human plans
Like building on sand
Though they know not, the coming conflagration
Carries off the life not built upon stone
BRIDGE chords
I know:
I’ve got my whole life in a single suitcase
Far from home
And I can carry this weight
But darling don’t wait too long
Now I’m up on this stage
Don’t know why people’ll pay a day’s wage
To hear my song
I guess it’s some kind of rite
By which I can right this wrong
CHORUS chords
Yeah Agnieszka,
Darling, I know you don’t want my name anymore
But Agnieszka,
I hope it’s okay that your name is the same as a song
Called Agnieszka
Push comes to shove, if they’re puzzled where Daddy has gone
O Agnieszka
Just try to pretend I got lost on my way
G
And wish them a merry Christmas
C Em Gm F (4x)
Please give them my love...
C, Em, Gm, F (2x)
C, Em, F, Fm (2x) vamp between these two
