That road is just an ordinary road

        Bm                     G
If you walked down, you would never know

The things this town's lost on these streets

The things this town has made a memory

Eighteen is too young to lose your life

Just another story for the papers to tell

"That's where the bike landed."

One more drink and I will play this game

Almost drunk enough to drive down Memory Lane

Something before I get to you

That perfect house in that perfect neighborhood

Where that one kid lived that no one understood

He came to this town back in '93

And left this town as a memory

     D                 A
The day he got sick of being ignored

            Bm                       G
He hung himself downstairs with an electric cord

D                                  A
Just another ghost story for this town to fear

Bm                         G
Gossip and gospel are the same around here

Almost drunk enough to drive down Memory Lane

I only hope that I crash into

Bm                 G
Something before I get to you
[Bridge]
D
I wanna remember, but no, I'm not ready

Bm
I wanna forget, but this city won't let me

A
They all say things will be okay

G
But no, they don't know anything

D
These are the things that make our past

Bm
These are the things that smash the glass

A
These are the things that make us bleed

G
So pour one more for these memories - Pour one more for...
[Chorus]
D                          A
One more drink and I will play this game

        Bm                         G
Almost drunk enough to drive down Memory Lane

  D                 A
I only hope that I crash into

Bm                 G
Something before I get to you
[Outro]
           D
Give me a shot or two

         A
Maybe a Jack or a few

      Bm         G
And maybe I can think of you

D                            A
Help me forget what this is all about

Bm                   G
Bottoms up before I bottom out

D
One more drink and I'll play this game
