Intro: A 


A                   D 
Tears start falling I can hardly see. 
E                   A 
My heart's breaking for old lonesome me. 
                      A           D 
I tell myself I'll be alright and nothing's  

really wrong. 
    E     A     D          A          D       
But just, then, about that time, your memory  
E     A 
comes along. 

#1. 
A                                   D 
Each day I tell myself the hurtin's hurtin’  

less and less. 
E                                 A 
And I should be happy that you're gone. 
                  A               D 
But time and time again I feel so lonely and  
         E                                 A 
I guess, that's the time your memory comes along. 

 
A                              D 
And now my tears start falling I can hardly see. 
E                   A 
My heart's breaking for old lonesome me. 
                      A           D 
I tell myself I'll be alright and nothing's  

really wrong. 
    E     A     D          A          D       
But just, then, about that time, your memory  
E     A 
comes along.  


INTERLUDE: A D E A 

#2. 
A                                D 
Each day I tell myself to go and find somebody new, 
     E                         A 
to replace the love I loved so long. 
                     A            D 
But when I'm holding someone else instead of holding  

you. 
      E                                 A 
Well, that's the time your memory comes along. 


A                              D 
And now my tears start falling I can hardly see. 
E                   A 
My heart's breaking for old lonesome me. 
                      A           D 
I tell myself I'll be alright and nothing's  

really wrong. 
    E     A     D          A          D       
But just, then, about that time, your memory  
E     A 
comes along. 


OUTRO: 
E     A     D          A          D      E     A 
Just, then, about that time, your memory comes along.
