[Verse 1]

All my friends say that they're happy that I'm moving on

First time that they've seen me smile since you up and gone

C G

But your memory won't let me go

Pretty as a picture that you'd hang up on a wall

But she just can't compare to you and it really ain't her fault

I know that I should fall for her

Believe me girl I've tried

G D

But your memory won't let me

[Chorus]

She's all good, but you're the best I ever had

Tell me how could she ever compete with that

Ocean Boulevard still has my heart

Close my eyes and there we are

G D

You're still the only place that feels like home

G Em

Cause your memory won't let me go

No your memory won't let me

[Verse 2]

Sometimes when she's close to me I still smell your perfume

And every time I'm holding her, I'm really holding you

And any man in his right mind would be all hers by now

G D

But your memory won't let me

[Chorus]

G D

I know that I should fall for her

Believe me girl I've tried

But your memory won't let me

She's all good, but you're the best I ever had

Tell me how could she ever compete with that

Ocean Boulevard still has my heart

Close my eyes and there we are

G D

You're still the only place that feels like home

G Em

Cause your memory won't let me go

C G

Oh your memory won't let me go

No your memory won't let me go

Won't let me

Oh your memory won't let me go
