Intro.:  |(C)(Dm/A)|(Em)(Dm/A)

I guess I (C)owe the (G7)neighbors an expla-(C)nation
About the noise comin' from this old (G7)house and (C)me
Lord, but this feelin' takes (C7/E)hold of me
God knows I (F)fight it, but it takes con-(Bb7)trol of me
That's why I'm (C)here tonight in (G7)memory of a (C)memory (F) (C) (G7)

See that (C)back yard that's where my (G7)babies used to (C)play
And see that window, hey, that's the (G7)bedroom where we (C)used to lay
Oh, sure you think I'm (C7/E)crazy (F) and hell I just might be (Bb7) (G7)
But as for to-(C)night, I'm here in (G7)memory of a (C)memory

So go (F)back to sleep and don't (Bb7)worry about me
Out here in this (C)night air all alone
Yeah, I'll be (D7)leavin' soon, soon as I (D7/F#)check each room (D7)
Cause it's (G7)still my home, (F) yes, (Em)still my (G7/D)home
Guess I'll (F)go water the flowers like she (C)asked me to

(F) I wish I'd (C)done, (F) it way back (C)then like she (G7)asked me to
Lord, but this (C)bottle took (C7/E)hold of me
God knows I (F)fought it, but it took control of me
That's why I'm (C)here tonight in (G7)memory of a (C)memory
