nd Fret/KEY: E/PLAY: D
(D) Now and then an (G) old friend tries to (D) help me
By telling me there's someone I should (A7) meet
But (D) I don't have the (G) heart to start all (D) over
'Cause my heart is laying (A7) at another's (D) feet.
(D) You just don't put new (G) patches on old (D) garments
I don't want no one else on my (A7) mind (E) (A7)
I (D) just don't need no-(G) body new to (D) cling to
I still love someone I've (A7) known a long, long (D) time.
I have built my world around a mem'ry
And she's the only one that I let in
Ev'ry-time I've tried to love somebody
In my mind I'm loving her again.
CHORUS
