Strain Your Memory

        D
May the highways cross their fingers
 and hope
Bm
That we may one day find ourselves 
home
D
She sticks her head outside the 
passenger window
Bm
Sighs as traffic stops and goes
D
It's been two weeks now living in 
this southern town
Bm
We hoped the change would change our
 restless minds
D
A little rewind to a simpler time
Bm                             
I swear it's temporary living in 
              G
this cheap motel
                  A
Somewhere in the bible belt
D
We made love at that Marietta Motel 
6
Bm
You fell asleep on my shoulder of 
commitment
D
Took it as a sign everything would 
be fine
Bm                             
Sometimes it takes these kind of 
                     G
nights just to realize
                         A
How we want to spend the rest of our
 lives

[Chorus]
        D                         
Could a diamond in the rough ever be
G
 enough
          A
I've been mining for your love
          D                        
Since the day that we met I've 
        G              A
spent every second in your minefield
 digging it up
        G                  A
Can you strain your memory back to 
the times
     G                      A     
When trouble wasn't always, always
        D
 on our minds
               Bm
Trouble wasn't always on our minds
            D                 
Back to the times when trouble 
        Bm
wasn't always on our minds

G   A   x2


[Verse 2]
            D
And now the hotel maids were bangin'
 down the door
Bm
As if they came looking for some 
answers
D
When ya gonna leave? Where ya gonna 
go?
Bm
Will you get your shit together?
                         G
When are you gonna marry her?
                       A
Well maybe you don't deserve her
                          G
Maybe the whole thing was doomed 
from the start
                    A
This inquisition is tearing me apart


[Chorus]
        D                         
Could a diamond in the rough ever be
G
 enough
          A
I've been mining for your love
          D                        
Since the day that we met I've 
      G                A
spent every second in your minefield
 digging it up
        G                  A
Can you strain your memory back to 
the times
     G                     A
When trouble wasn't always on our 
minds
        G                  A
Can you strain your memory one more 
time
     G                     A      
When trouble wasn't always, always
        D
 on our minds
                    Bm
When trouble wasn't always on our 
minds
            D                 
Back to the times when trouble 
        Bm                    D
wasn't always on our minds
