Made Some Memories

[Intro ]
D  G  A 

 
      G 
I was sitting catching up with an old friend. 
                                               D 
We were swapping stories and how you been for an hour or two. 
       G 
He said "I've been working like a dog two weeks straight, 
                     D 
not a day off, buddy how about you?" 
A                                  G    D 
   I said, "I've been working overtime, 
Em              D             G              A 
   but I ain't punched a clock and I ain't made a dime." 
 

 
         G                  D/F# G                              D     A 
'Cause I took my son fishing. Then we both went swimming in the river. 
      G                                                                      A 
And I watched the sunrise with my wife and took her out again last night for dinner. 
  Bm                   A               G            D           D/F# 
I spent some time with mom and dad and if you want man I'd be glad 
   Em            D                  G 
to tell you everything I did this week. 
   D                 G                A                D    G  D 
Nooo, I didn't make no money, but I sure made some memories. 
 

 
          G 
He said, "Man, I've got bills to pay 
                                        D 
and I ain't got no time to waste on things like that. 
         G                                                                 D 
'Cause I want to put my boys through school and 60 hours a week will do that pretty fast." 
  A                                G      D      Em                       D 
I said, "I understand. Don't get me wrong, but I bet your wife feels like mine did 
         G                  D 
and your kids don't stay young long." 
 

 
     G                                                                            A 
So I played catch in the backyard, I helped him wish on a shooting star before bedtime. 
       G                                                              A 
And we took a walk every day on a little path down by the lake in the sunshine. 
        Em           A                    G         D/F#            Em                D/F#        G 
Yeah, I realized I was missing out so I'm living in the moment now, spending time with my family. 
A              D/F#  G              D              D/F# G      A 
Nooo, I didn't make no money, but I sure made some memo-ries... 
 

 
Bm              A              G 
I'll go back to my 9 to 5 once Monday rolls around, 
D/F#       Em                   D/F#                G          A 
   but if I were you I'd take a day or two and just slow down. 
 

 
D/F#   G                      D/F# 
   And take your sons fishing, 
G                           D     A 
Do a little swimming in the river. 
G                                                                  A 
Watch the sunrise with your wife, take her out a couple nights for dinner. 
  Bm                A                G 
Spend time with your mom and dad and trust me man, 
   D/F#            Em             D/F#             G 
you'll be glad you did, 'cause it's moments like these. 
A                   G                   D                  A 
Oh, you won't make no money, but you'll sure make some memories.
