           G
I found a box of memories,

           D/F#
Dropped a tear where you signed your name,

                 Em
And turning the page,

              D                 Cadd9
Smearing the ink into "Love Always."

          G
Girl, I always start this way a

                          D/F#
End then I end up in a bottle screaming out your name,

               Em            D                      Cadd9
Punching the walls, carrying on like I've gone insane,

A
And in the mirror,

                                      Em
I can see the man who just shook his head with no remorse,

A
Watching an angel cry her tears,

                   Cadd9                       D
Stepping over my beers as you walked out the door.

                G                    D
And there ain't nothing like a memory,

                     Em
When it's coming on strong like a hurricane.

        Cadd9                             D/F#
How can love like that just up and walk away?

             G                     D
It's got me pouring up another drink,

                      Em
Bourbon's hitting me hard like a freight train,

        Cadd9                           D/F#
With my back against the wall or on my knees,

                        D                       G    D    Cadd9
When the worst of your memory gets the best of me.

G                                        D/F#
Well, I remember it all too well, riding 441 down to Milledgeville,

              Em            D                  Cadd9
Crossing the bridge as the sun set on Lake Sinclair.

            G
I couldn't wait to see you smile,

                     D/F#                                      Em
But all I saw were tears in your pretty eyes and that said it all,

         D                 Cadd9
It was all downhill from there.

A                                        Em
And I remember you saying, "Baby, please don't give up on me."

A                                     Cadd9                  D
Oh my baby, this stubborn man is gonna lie in the bed he made.

                G                     D
'Cause there ain't nothing like a memory,

                    Em
When it's coming on strong like a hurricane.

        Cadd9                             D/F#
How can love like that just up and walk away?

             G                    D
It's got me pouring up another drink,

                      Em
Bourbon's hitting me hard like a freight train,

        Cadd9                            Em
With my back against the wall or on my knees,

                         D               G   Em          Cadd9    D
When the worst of your memory gets the best,     the best of me.

                     G              D
Baby, there ain't nothing like a memory,

                      Em
When it's coming on strong like a hurricane.

        Cadd9                            D/F#
How can love like that just up and walk away?

          G                 D
Got me pouring up another drink,

                      Em
Bourbon's hitting me hard like a freight train,

        Cadd9                            Em
With my back against the wall or on my knees,

                          D
When the words to your memory gets the best, the best of me.
