(Note: Muted strumming throughout verses, open strumming throughout

      G                                 D
I was going through the closet, back in my old home

         C                       D
Found my lettermans jacket, so I slipped it on

G                         D
Deep in the pocket, still folded up tight

        C                    D
Was the letter you wrote, to tell me goodbye

    G                  D
The minute I saw it, I just had to smile

   C                            D
It smelled like old leather, as smooth as a child

  G                       D
I took a deep breath, and put it away

          C                               D
There was no need to read it, I knew just what it would say
[Chorus] x2
G
I know the words by heart

       D
I know every line

     C
>From this ain't easy

          D
To you'll get along just fine

G                         D
I know every comma, every question mark

     C
No I don't have to look

                 D  G
I know the words by heart

G                       D
Scenes like old movies, flash through my head

    C                    D
The homecoming game, the night on my bed

    G                           D
The words that you wrote, still cut me in two

        C                         D
How you said you still cared, but that we were through
[Bridge]
Em                   C
Ain't it funny how a memory

G                       D
Can play tricks on your mind

        Em                       C
I don't remember a thing from my classes

          G         C     D
But I can quote you every line
[End bridge]
  G                       D
I took off my jacket, and put it away

          C                          D
With your note in the pocket, like I found it that day

G                      D
Poured me a beer, then pictured your face

            C                            D
And drank a silent toast, to things that time can't erase
[Chorus] x2
G
I know the words by heart

       D
I know every line

     C
>From this ain't easy

          D
To you'll get along just fine

G                         D
I know every comma, every question mark

     C
No I don't have to look

                 D  G
I know the words by heart

G                       D
Scenes like old movies, flash through my head

    C                    D
The homecoming game, the night on my bed

    G                           D
The words that you wrote, still cut me in two

        C                         D
How you said you still cared, but that we were through
