[Intro]
G  D/F#  Em  D  Cadd9
I found a bGox of memories,
Read a letter,
Dropped a tD/F#ear where you signed your name,
And turning the pEmage,
Smearing the iDnk into "Love AlwaCadd9ys."
Girl, I alGways start this way a
End then I end up in a botD/F#tle screaming out your name,
Punching the waEmlls, carrying Don like I've gone insanCadd9e,
AAnd in the mirror,
I can see the man who just shook his hEmead with no remorse,
AWatching an angel cry her tears,
Stepping over my beCadd9ers as you walked out the doDor.
And there ain't Gnothing like a memoryD,
When it's coming on sEmtrong like a hurricane.
How can Cadd9love like that just up and walk awD/F#ay?
It's got me pGouring up another drinDk,
Bourbon's hitting me hEmard like a freight train,
With my Cadd9back against the wall or on my kD/F#nees,
When the worst of your mDemory gets the best of mGe.D  Cadd9  
GWell, I remember it all too well, riding D/F#441 down to Milledgeville,
Crossing the bEmridge as the sDun set on Lake SincCadd9lair.
I couldn't wGait to see you smile,
But all I saw were teD/F#ars in your pretty eyes and that said it aEmll,
It was alDl downhill from thCadd9ere.
AAnd I remember you saying, "Baby, please Emdon't give up on me."
AOh my baby, this stubborn man is gonna Cadd9lie in the bed he madeD.
'Cause there ainG't nothing like a memoDry,
When it's coming on Emstrong like a hurricane.
How can Cadd9love like that just up and walk awD/F#ay?
It's got me pGouring up another driDnk,
Bourbon's hitting me hEmard like a freight train,
With my Cadd9back against the wall or on my knEmees,
When the worst of your meDmory gets the beGst,     Emthe best Cadd9of me.D  
Baby, there ain't notGhing like a memDory,
When it's coming on stEmrong like a hurricane.
How can Cadd9love like that just up and walk aD/F#way?
Got me pouGring up another drDink,
Bourbon's hitting me hEmard like a freight train,
With my Cadd9back against the wall or on my knEmees,
When the words to your memDory gets the best, the best of me.

[Intro]

G D/F# Em D Cadd9

I found a box of memories,

Read a letter,

D/F#

Dropped a tear where you signed your name,

And turning the page,

D Cadd9

Smearing the ink into "Love Always."

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,

And in the mirror,

I can see the man who just shook his head with no remorse,

Watching an angel cry her tears,

Cadd9 D

Stepping over my beers as you walked out the door.

G D

And there ain't nothing like a memory,

When it's coming on strong like a hurricane.

How can love like that just up and walk away?

G D

It's got me pouring up another drink,

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 D/F#

Well, I remember it all too well, riding 441 down to Milledgeville,

Em D Cadd9

Crossing the bridge as the sun set on Lake Sinclair.

I couldn't wait to see you smile,

D/F# Em

But all I saw were tears in your pretty eyes and that said it all,

D Cadd9

It was all downhill from there.

A Em

And I remember you saying, "Baby, please don't give up on me."

Oh my baby, this stubborn man is gonna lie in the bed he made.

G D

'Cause there ain't nothing like a memory,

When it's coming on strong like a hurricane.

When the worst of your memory gets the best, the best of me.

Baby, there ain't nothing like a memory,

When it's coming on strong like a hurricane.

How can love like that just up and walk away?

Got me pouring up another drink,

Bourbon's hitting me hard like a freight train,

With my back against the wall or on my knees,

When the words to your memory gets the best, the best of me.
