Read About Memory Cifras

[Intro]
 
Cm
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
                   Ab
I remember drivin' and the smell of rain
         Eb                   Bb
And your hands out the window flyin' like a plane
Cm                   Ab
I remember smilin' and starin' at your face
Eb                           Bb
Like it would disappear if I blinked or looked away
Ab
Yeah
 
Old hickory and your sack dress
                     Eb
Won't let me go just yet
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Cm                 Ab
I remember sittin' on your folks' pull-out couch
         Eb                        Bb
You kept sayin' it was cold, I was starin' at your mouth
        Cm                           Ab
And the more I read about memory the less I pay it mind
            Eb                                  Bb
It's just a story that we tell ourselves, or at most, a lullaby
Ab
Yeah
                  Eb
Your eyes and the TV glow
Ab                   Eb
They will not let me go
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
Eb         Bb Cm  Eb          Ab
And I know we had our reasons why
Eb       Bb  Cm   Eb          Ab
But I cannot hold them in my mind
Eb          Bb Cm  Eb           Ab
Yeah I know we had our reasons why
        Eb
Instead I
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Cm                  Ab
I remember watchin' you cross the room
Eb                       Bb
I knew all your friends, I did not know you
Cm                           Ab
And when you said your name, I felt vaguely sick
Eb                                   Bb
And the whole world swum beneath us, I loved you so quick
Ab
Yeah
 
You laughed and turned your head
                    Eb
I can't get free of it
 
Eb Bb Eb
 
[Chorus 2]
 
Eb         Bb Cm  Eb          Ab
And I know we had our reasons why
Eb       Bb  Cm   Eb         Ab
But I cannot hold them in my mind
Eb          Bb Cm  Eb            Ab
Yeah I know we had some real bad times
Eb       Bb  Cm   Eb         Ab
But I cannot hold them in my mind
 
 
[Outro]
Eb    Ab
In my mind
Eb    Ab
In my mind
Eb    Ab
In my mind
Eb    Ab
In my mind
