Intro: C 

N.C.            C  G C 
Hmmmm, oh, your memo-ry 
   Am     Em     F 
It still amazes me 
                      C 
Even after all these years  
    G                       C     F 
I'm always on the verge of tears 


       C     G   C 
I have tried in vain 
   Am       Em     F 
To start my life again 
                       C 
Something always interferes  
           G                       C  
'Cause I'm always on the verge of tears 



             G                      C 
When I see a friend that we used to know 
            G                E7              Am   C7 
When I stop by that little place we used to go 
                 F                        G 
A quarter in the jukebox, a couple on the street 
                  F                        G 
It doesn't take a whole lot to get me on my knees 


N.C.    C    G    C 
I still feel your touch 
        Am       Em       F 
I still love you way too much 
                       C 
I'll get over you somehow 
      G                          C  
But I think I'm gonna cry right now 


 
                 G                          C 
When I hear your name, when they play that song 
            G               E7                 Am   C7 
I'm getting tired of people asking me what's wrong 
                   F                     G 
Can't they see I'm trying, everything is fine 
              F                       G 
Hell, I'm only crying, crying all the time 


N.C.     C  G C 
Oh, your memo-ry 
   Am         Em     F 
It just won't set me free 
                      C 
Even after all these years  
    G             E7        Am    C 
I'm always on the verge of tears 
F                     C 
Even after all these years  
    G                      C 
I'm always on the verge of tears
