lyrics

G D
Standing in the doorway of 221 B
Am C
I can see the rest of the world moving on without me
G D
You run through my mind with painful consistency
Am C
But your memory fades from everyone else's so quickly

Em D C D
So many lives you saved, so many that you helped
So quickly they forget, like you forgot yourself

C G Em D
Violin strings and nicotine patches,
Gunshot holes in the wall
All I have left to remind myself that you
Were ever here at all

Am Em Am D
The world has forgotten who you are
They've discarded what you've done
Slandered your name and then moved on
Leaving your memory all alone
I can't forget who you were
Can't be convinced I was wrong
No matter what
I believe in Sherlock Holmes

G D
A sliver of doubt turned them all against you
Am C
Forgetting all the trust they had in the hero they knew
G D
A clever man whose game was to outsmart the best
Am C
Moriarty was real, mad and obsessed

Em D C D
Last words can't convince me that you're not who you say
I'd trust you over the whole world any day

C G Em D
But text messages and old experiments,
Spraypainted smiles on the wall
All I have left to remind myself that you
Were ever here at all

Am Em Am D
The world has forgotten who you are
They've discarded what you've done
Slandered your name and then moved on
Leaving your memory all alone
I can't forget who you were
Can't be convinced I was wrong
No matter what
I believe in Sherlock Holmes

I was so alone
And I owe you so much

about

Nikki Kish Michigan

25-year-old nerd who has finally decided to act on my passion for music. You'll mostly find songs here dedicated to TV shows or books; I like to pretend I'm various fictional characters.
Oh, hush. Like you don't do the same thing.
