Read About Memory

Cm


[Verse 1]

                   Ab
I remember drivin' and the smell of 
rain
         Eb                   Bb
And your hands out the window flyin'
 like a plane
Cm                   Ab
I remember smilin' and starin' at 
your face
Eb                           Bb
Like it would disappear if I blinked
 or looked away
Ab
Yeah

Old hickory and your sack dress
                     Eb
Won't let me go just yet


[Verse 2]

Cm                 Ab
I remember sittin' on your folks' 
pull-out couch
         Eb                        
You kept sayin' it was cold, I was 
Bb
starin' at your mouth
        Cm                         
And the more I read about memory 
  Ab
the less I pay it mind
            Eb                
It's just a story that we tell 
                  Bb
ourselves, or at most, a lullaby

Ab
Yeah
                  Eb
Your eyes and the TV glow
Ab                   Eb
They will not let me go


[Chorus 1]

Eb         Bb Cm  Eb          Ab
And I know we had our reasons why
Eb       Bb  Cm   Eb          Ab
But I cannot hold them in my mind
Eb          Bb Cm  Eb           Ab
Yeah I know we had our reasons why
        Eb
Instead I


[Verse 3]

Cm                  Ab
I remember watchin' you cross the 
room
Eb                       Bb
I knew all your friends, I did not 
know you
Cm                           Ab
And when you said your name, I felt 
vaguely sick
Eb                                
And the whole world swum beneath 
   Bb
us, I loved you so quick
Ab
Yeah

You laughed and turned your head
                    Eb
I can't get free of it

Eb Bb Eb

[Chorus 2]

Eb         Bb Cm  Eb          Ab
And I know we had our reasons why
Eb       Bb  Cm   Eb         Ab
But I cannot hold them in my mind
Eb          Bb Cm  Eb           
Yeah I know we had some real bad 
 Ab
times
Eb       Bb  Cm   Eb         Ab
But I cannot hold them in my mind
