Read About Memory

	  		
Intro: Cm 


verse 1 

                   Ab 
I remember drivin' and the smell of rain 
         Eb                   Bb 
And your hands out the window flyin' like a plane 
Cm                   Ab 
I remember smilin' and starin' at your face 
Eb                           Bb 
Like it would disappear if I blinked or looked away 
Ab 
Yeah 

Old hickory and your sick dress 
                     Eb 
Won't let me go just yet 


verse 2 

Cm                 Ab 
I remember sittin' on your folks' pull-out couch 
         Eb                        Bb 
You kept sayin' it was cold, I was starin' at your mouth 
        Cm                           Ab 
And the more I read about memory the less I pay it mind 
            Eb                                  Bb 
It's just a story that we tell ourselves, or at most, a lullaby 
Ab 
Yeah 
                 (Eb) 
Your eyes and the TV glow 
Ab                   Eb 
They will not let me go 


Eb         Bb Cm  Eb          Ab 
And I know we had our reasons why 
Eb       Bb  Cm   Eb          Ab 
But I cannot hold them in my mind 
Eb          Bb Cm  Eb           Ab 
Yeah I know we had our reasons why 
        Eb 
Instead I 



verse 3 

Cm                  Ab 
I remember watchin' you cross the room 
Eb                       Bb 
I knew all your friends, I did not know you 
Cm                           Ab 
And when you said your name, I felt vaguely sick 
Eb                                   Bb 
And the whole world swum beneath us, I loved you so quick 
Ab 
Yeah 

You laughed and turned your head 
                    Eb 
I can't get free of it 

Eb Bb Eb 


Eb         Bb Cm  Eb          Ab 
And I know we had our reasons why 
Eb       Bb  Cm   Eb         Ab 
But I cannot hold them in my mind 
Eb          Bb Cm  Eb            Ab 
Yeah I know we had some real bad times 
Eb       Bb  Cm   Eb         Ab 
But I cannot hold them in my mind
