Chords

[Verse 1]
G
This song is for you, you know who you are

					D7
Won't embarrass you by callin' out your name.

D7
You're here every night, serving up the drinks

			 G
Wearin' your superficial smile.

G
You still wear the wedding band, on your left hard workin' hand

		  G7			C
For a memory of a man who's chained and bound

				 G
Lord knows you need a man and an understandin' hand

	       D7		 G
Before you run completely out of love
[Chorus]
G	  D7
You can't stay in love with a memory

D7
You can't stay in love with a dream

D7
Yet you've fallen in love with a picture on the wall

D7				         G
And the sad part is the picture's not of me
[Verse 2]
G
That cold December day, they took her man away

					D7
Never dreamin' of the gentle heart they broke

D7
Now she waits by the phone, she waits there all alone

			           G
But the only one who ever calls is me

G
Now I'm a prisoner of a slave to one way love

                      G7           C
I wish they'd let him go so I'd be free

C                                G
Break these chains that bind and release this heart of mine

             D7                G
Before I run completely out of love
[Chorus]
G	  D7
You can't stay in love with a memory

D7
You can't stay in love with a dream

D7
Yet you've fallen in love with a picture on the wall

D7				         G
And the sad part is the picture's not of me
