The Only Thing I Know

	  		

Intro: G Am Em Em 

G   Am               Em 
I'm living with your memory 
G      Am          Em 
In the attic in my mind 
G               Am            Em 
And you've been getting by without me 
G                      Am     Em 
But I've been spending all my time 
G      Am           Em 
With a girl that I remember 
G            Am               Em 
Who'll never leave or need to grow 
G             Am                  Em 
'Cos when you left, you left your memory 
G                 Am      Em 
Now it's the only thing I know 

G        Am               Em 
When the past gives me discomfort 
G       Am          Em 
And the future is a cost 
G           Am           Em 
The way I'm choosing to remember 
                    G     Am    Em 
I'll forever be the man I never was 

    G   Am    Em     G   Am    Em 
And y----o----u, you f---a---d---e 
        G   Am   Em         G   Am  Em 
But the memory remains, the same 
    G   Am   Em           G   Am   Em 
And I---------I, I can't ch---a---nge 
                 G      Am        Em 
And I think that living with your memory 
          G       Am    Em 
Is slowly driving me insane 

G        Am                 Em 
You were perfect but you're empty 
G              Am           Em 
And it gets so lonely in my mind 
G         Am          Em 
'Cos your image in my memory's 
                  G          Am        Em 
The only shred of you that's left behind 
G        Am                Em 
You were real but then you left me 
G              Am             Em 
And that's the part I can't accept 
G               Am               Em 
So I'll keep on living with your memory 
             G        Am        Em 
Because it's all that I've got left 
              G           Am    Em 
It's all that I've got left
