[Verse 1]
E
I’m in love with the thought of you when you were twenty-two
Asus2
A pair of boots and your Converse shoes kicked off by the front door
Asus2
Sipping cheap tequila on the front porch
E
I’m in love with the history of you and me, how it used to be
Asus2
The king and queen of this small town, young and wild
Asus2
Something from the nineties on the dashboard dial
[Pre-Chorus]
Bsus4 C#m7 Asus2
But oh, memory will make it hard
Bsus4 C#m7 Asus2
‘Cause I can look but I can’t touch
[Chorus]
E
A memory can’t kiss you outside of your mama’s house
C#m7
Midnight rain on a Chevy hood
Asus2
A memory can’t hold you in a Sarasota sunrise
F#m7
Even though you wish it would
E
All it’s gonna do is make you lose sleep at night
C#m7
Wake up and leave you in the past
Asus2
You can love a memory
F#m7 Asus2 E C#m7 Asus2
But a memory can’t love you back
[Verse 2]
E
Just when I think I found someone new, it comes out the blue
E
It kills my vibes and it kills the mood
Asus2
Those two years are long gone
Asus2
And I should be moving on
[Pre-Chorus]
Bsus4 C#m7 Asus2
But oh, memory will make it hard
Bsus4 C#m7 Asus2 F#m7
It’s time to realize you don’t deserve my heart, oh
[Chorus]
E
A memory can’t kiss you outside of your mama’s house
C#m7
Midnight rain on a Chevy hood
Asus2
A memory can’t hold you in a Sarasota sunrise
F#m7
Even though you wish it would
E
All it’s gonna do is make you lose sleep at night
C#m7
Wake up and leave you in the past
Asus2
You can love a memory
F#m7 Asus2 E C#m7 Asus2
But a memory can’t love you back
[Solo]
E C#m7 Asus2
[Chorus]
E
A memory can’t tell you how you make me feel
C#m7 Asus2
In the moonlight glow of a shotgun seat
E
A memory can’t pick out a diamond ring
F#m7
And say I do under an old long tree
E
All it’s gonna do is make you lose sleep at night
C#m7
Wake up and leave you in the past
Asus2
You can love a memory
F#m7 Asus2 E C#m7
But a memory can’t love you back
Asus2 E C#m7 Asus2
Can’t love you back
[Outro]
Bsus4
You can love a memory
F#m7 Asus2
But a memory can’t love you back
