            C         F         C
There's a place I can go in my memories

 G                                 C    G
Back to a life I chose to leave behind

         C             F         C
And sometimes I still need to remember

                 C   G7               C
When times were good -- and you were mine
[Verse 2]
           C              F           C
I'm still livin' with my reasons for leaving

      G7        D7            G7             C
They must have seemed more important at the time

 C           F              C
Now I only dream about the two of us

                 C   G7               C
When times were good -- and you were mine
[Chorus]
         F                            C
I still have everything that came between us

        G7                            C     C7
My old guitar and a weakness for the wine

      F                                     C
So tonight I thought I'd write one for the memories

                 C   G7               C
When times were good -- and you were mine

           C           F                 C
There's a Golden Eagle - rollin' out of Memphis

         G7                                    C
And the country singer still lost between the lines

       C                  F                      C
And I know that this old road I'm on will never lead me

                  C   G7               C
Where times were good -- and you were mine
[Chorus]
         F                            C
I still have everything that came between us

             G7                               C
Like my old guitar and this weakness for the wine

       F                                     C
And tonight I thought I'd write one for the memories

                 C   G7                    C
When times were good -- and, and you were mine
[Interlude] | C | F7 | C | C | | G7 D7 | G7 | C | C | | C | F7 | C | C | | C | G7 | C | C | [Outro]
         F         F7                 C
I still have everything that came between us

             G7                             C     C7
Like my old guitar and this hunger for the wine

       F7                                    C
And tonight I thought I'd write one for the memories

                  C   G7               C
Where times were good -- and you were mine

                  C   G7               F    C
Where times were good -- and you were mine
