Chords in this song · guitar

G Em B C

I love you but I can't remember why,

G Em B C

Stars fallin' from a half forgoten sky

G B Em C

I was a one line wonder in my own love song

G Em B C

I keep a little journal by my bed

G Em B C

Dreams help me find the words I haven't said

G Em B C

Like when a little girly said good-bye to me

D C G D C G

From behind a screen door, I won't see her again I'm sure

G G C G

Well didn't I say I need you,

G Am F C G

I tried to move on but I can't

G C G

I tried to think of bad times

G Am F C G

Good memories are all I have

G Em B C

I love you but I can't remember why

G Em B C

I'd love to find a reason to deny

G B Em C

I was a one-hit wonder in my own hometown

G Em B C

And I guess I might have made a few mistakes

G Em B C

But maybe that's exactly what it takes

G B Em C

To get a little happy in this big sad world

D C G

How many have you made

D C G Am C D D D D

And which of those have you laid on down to die

G C G

Well didn't I say I need you,

G Am F C G

I tried to move on but I can't

G C G

I tried to think of bad times

G Am F C G

Good memories are all I have
