Chords

[Intro]
      Bm
I can still smell your hair

       G
As you lay it on my shoulder

        A                    F#m
And the glow of a late night cigarette

         Bm
With the flowers all in bloom

   G
My guitar out of tune

     A                       D
As I sing to your empty silhouette
[Verse 1]
    Bm
The nights aren't as bright

       G
As the stars in your eyes

          A
While we drink like there's

             F#m
Something to forget

     Bm
Well I'm not quite sure

       G
If our love was as pure

        A
As the times we shared

                   D
Was something we'd regret
[Chorus]
             G
It's just am old worn out tune

        A
About a love we once knew

         D                         G
While we sit around and dig up the past

           Bm
Though the times aren't as sure

       A
As the pain we endured

     G                          D
Just hoping that these memories last
[Verse 2]
     Bm
Well these quarters in my hand

G
Remind me of the band

     A                              F#m
That lived in that jukebox down the hall

   Bm
It only knew one song

    G
But we still sang along

   A                               D
We didn't care what else was going on
[Chorus]
             G
It's just am old worn out tune

        A
About a love we once knew

         D                         G
While we sit around and dig up the past

           Bm
Though the times aren't as sure

       A
As the pain we endured

     G                          D
Just hoping that these memories last
[Verse 3]
  Bm
I guess it's been awhile

      G
Since I brought you flowers

    A                             F#m
The ones I left have surely blown away

     Bm
I'll remove all the leaves

     G
That gathered over thee

       A
So the world can see who's name

          D
is on the grave
[Chorus]
             G
It's just am old worn out tune

        A
About a love we once knew

         D                         G
While we sit around and dig up the past

           Bm
Though the times aren't as sure

       A
As the pain we endured

     G                          D
Just hoping that these memories last
