Capo on 4 
[Intro]
G   C   G C G
There's a Gplace CI can go in my Gmemories
DBack to a life I chose to leave be- GhindC  
And Gsometimes CI still need Gto rememberC  
When times Gwere good, Dand Gyou were mine
I'm still Glivin' Cwith my reasons for Gleaving
DThey must have seemed more important Gat the timeC  
'Cause Gnow I on- Cly dream about Gthe two of usC  
When times Gwere good, Dand you Gwere mine  C  G  
[Chorus]
I Cstill got everything that came be- Gtween us
My old Dguitar and a weakness for the Gwine
So to- Cnight I thought I'd write one for the GmemoriesC  
When times Gwere good, Dand you Gwere mine C  G  
There's a Ggolden eagle Crollin' out Gof Memphis
DAnd a country singer still caught between Gthe linesC  
And I Gknow this old road I'm Con will nev- G-er lead meC  
Where times Gwere good, Dand you were Gmine C  G  
[Chorus]
I Cstill got everything that came be- Gtween us
My old Dguitar and a weakness for the Gwine
So to- Cnight I thought I'd write one for the GmemoriesC  
When times Gwere good, Dand you Gwere mineC  
When times Gwere good, Dand you were mineG  C  G  C  D  G
