G D/F Em D Cadd9 Bm
INTRO: G, D/F, Em, D, Cadd9
G
I found a box of memories,
Read a letter,
D/F
Dropped a tear where you signed your name,
Em
And turning the page,
D Cadd9
Smearing the ink into "Love Always."
G
Girl, I always start this way a
D/F
End then I end up in a bottle screaming out your name,
Em D Cadd9
Punching the walls, carrying on like I've gone insane,
Bm
And in the mirror,
Em
I can see the man who just shook his head with no remorse,
Bm
Watching an angel cry her tears,
Em D
Stepping over my beers as you walked out the door.
G
And there ain't nothing like a memory,
Em
When it's coming on strong like a hurricane.
Cadd9 D/F
How can love like that just up and walk away?
Killing me baby.
G
It's got me pouring up another drink,
Em
Bourbon's hitting me hard like a freight train,
Cadd9 D/F
With my back against the wall or on my knees,
D G D Cadd9
When the worst of your memory gets the best of me.

G E/F
Well, I remember it all too well, riding 441 down to Milledgeville,
Em Cadd9
Crossing the bridge as the sun set on Lake Sinclair.
G
I couldn't wait to see you smile,
E/F Em
But all I saw were tears in your pretty eyes and that said it all,
Cadd9
It was all downhill from there.
Bm Em
And I remember you saying, "Baby, please don't give up on me."
Bm Em D
Oh my baby, this stubborn man is gonna lie in the bed he made.
G
'Cause there ain't nothing like a memory,
Em
When it's coming on strong like a hurricane.
Cadd9 D/F
How can love like that just up and walk away?
Killing me baby.
G
It's got me pouring up another drink,
Em
Bourbon's hitting me hard like a freight train,
Cadd9 Em
With my back against the wall or on my knees,
D G Em Cadd9 D
When the worst of your memory gets the best, the best of me.
G
Baby, there ain't nothing like a memory,
Em
When it's coming on strong like a hurricane.
Cadd9 D/F
How can love like that just up and walk away?
Your killing me baby.
G
Got me pouring up another drink,
Em
Bourbon's hitting me hard like a freight train,
Cadd9 D/F
With my back against the wall or on my knees,
D
When the words to your memory gets the best, the best of me.
G, Cadd9, G, D/F, Cadd9
