[Verse 1]
E
I need a family to drive me crazy
C#m
Call me out when I'm low and lazy
E
It won't be perfect, but we'll be fine
C#m B A
Cause I've got your back, and you've got mine
B E
You got mine
[Verse 2]
E
We'll have tiny boxes for memories
C#m
Open them up and we'll set them free
E
There'll be bad days and some hard times
C#m B A
But I'll keep your secrets, if you'll keep mine
[Chorus]
E
You are the memory that won't ever lapse
C#m
When twenty five years have suddenly past
A
Wherever you take me it's clear I will go
C#m A E
Your love's the one love that I need to know
C#m A E
Your love's the one love that I need to know
[Verse 3]
E
Take my picture and then you laugh cause I
C#m
hate the way I look in photographs
E
Keep your memories, but don't leave the past
C#m B A
I'm looking forward, to the best days we'll have
[Chorus]
E
You are the memory that won't ever lapse
C#m
When twenty five years have suddenly past
A
Wherever you take me it's clear I will go
C#m A E
Your love's the one love that I need to know
E
You are the sun in the desolate sky
C#m
your life's in these words and it can't be denied
A
Wherever you take me it's clear I will go
C#m A E
Your love's the one love that I need to know
C#m A E
Your love's the one love that I need to know
[Bridge]
C#m
You can cry away all your complicated memories
E
That keep you up so many nights
C#m
And darling save your apologies
A
Cause I know that you're scared,
E
but I swear you'll be alright
C#m
I swear you're alright
E
You're alright
[Final-Chorus 1]
E
When the answers escape us when we start to fade
C#m
Remember who loved you and the ones who have stayed
A
Cause my body will fail, but my soul will go on
C#m
So don't you get lonely
A E
I'm right where you are
[Final-Chorus 2]
E
You are the memory that won't ever lapse
C#m
When twenty five years have suddenly past
A
Wherever you take me it's clear I will go
C#m A E
Your love's the one love that I need to know
E
You are the sun in the desolate sky
C#m
Your life's in these words and it can't be denied
A
Wherever you take me it's clear I will go
C#m A E
Your love's the one love that I need to know
C#m A E
Your love's the one love that I need to know
