Capo 3rd Fret (to match recording)

NOTE: This song is super-easy to learn. The same chord progression is used throughout the song, with the exception of the bridge.

Intro: (C) (F) (G7) (C) 

(C) All I can be is a sweet memory
That (F) drifts through your mind time from (C) time
I can (G7) never be more than a knock on your door
Just a (F) shadow that's gone with the (G7) sunshine

For you know I'm not free and I never can be
And you're bound to get restless in time
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind

All I can be is a sweet memory
Of someone you had to leave behind
Who loves you and needs you but never could give you
A ring for your finger so fine

So tonight we'll just borrow each other
Tomorrow we'll find we've run out of time
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind

   Ton(G7)ight I'll share the silence while (C) lying here with you
   (G7) Sands of time have trickled down to (C) just a precious few
   You're young and so beautiful and I'm (F) glad that I'm here
   But the (D7) ending is painfully (G7) clear

For you know I'm not free and I never can be
And you're bound to get restless in time
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind

(INSTRUMENTAL) 

For you know I'm not free and I never can be
And you're bound to get restless in time
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind

All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind
