[Verse 1]
 EmYou gotta live a little, Gyou gotta give a little
 F#7We've got a long, cold history
 AmIf I seem unGcomfortable
It's beF#7cause you're just too Bclose to me
 EmPast the living roomG, a rose-tinted tomb
 F#7And a ghost staring back at me
 AmIf it seems imGpossible
It's beF#7cause you don't beBlieve
[Chorus]
CMemories (Memories, memories) lEmie
CMemories (Memories), Dmemories (Memories) Emlie

 EmIn a little while, I'll be out of style
 F#7Out of grace and reality
 AmWhen I feel disGposable
I'll preF#7tend it meant someBthing to me

 AmWhen it's too unGcomfortable
It can F#7rewrite histoBry
