Verse 1

C                  F           C
I burned all those pictures at least ten years ago
     G7                            C
That one of you beside the car was hardest to let go
          C7          F        C
That shoe box full of memories promises and lies
    G7                                            C
The smoke from those old letters still gets in my eyes

Verse 2

F              G7          C
Just a few old memories of how it used to be
F             G7           C               G7
Old songs and old friend remind me constantly
   C                 F          C
To think how close I was to you still gets close to me
    G7                                               C
But all that’s left for me to love are a few old memories

Verse 3

                       F        C
There’s still a silver bracelet around the house somewhere
     G7                            C
It’s probably in that old trunk we keep beneath the stairs
          C7          F          C
The words you had put on it have tarnished and turned
G7                                              C
It and a few old memories are all that wouldn’t burn

Verse 2

F              G7          C
Just a few old memories of how it used to be
F             G7           C               G7
Old songs and old friend remind me constantly
   C                 F          C
To think how close I was to you still gets close to me
    G7                                               C
But all that’s left for me to love are a few old memories
