Intro 
      G 
I can curse the day I met you 
    Em 
And say I never loved you 
C 
Swear I'm better off now 
     D                       C D 
That you're not here with me 
      G 
I can tell myself it's over 
          Em 
That some where there's another 
       C 
Who'll take your place in my life 
         D                     G/B 
But it's all just make-believe 
            D 
I know it's all just make-believe 

         Em            D             Cmaj7 
'Cause a thousand memo ries can't be wrong 
       Em                  D          C 
One by one they're tellin' me to hang on 
Em                  D               C    G/B C 
Truth is girl, I've loved you all a long 
     Em             D            Csus9 
No a thousand memor ies can't be wrong 

        G 
I don't need to see your picture 
   Em 
Or read your old love letters 
   C 
To know the fool that I've been 
    D                     C D 
I'm reminded all the time 
        G 
I don't need to drive by your house 
   Em 
Or go to our old hangouts 
   C 
To know the love I'm missin' 
     D                 G/B 
It's always on my mind 
            D 
Girl you're always on my mind 

         Em            D             Cmaj7 
'Cause a thousand memo ries can't be wrong 
       Em                  D          C 
One by one they're tellin' me to hang on 
Em                  D               C    G/B C 
Truth is girl, I've loved you all a long

No a thousand memor ies can't be wrong 
     Em             D            Csus9 
No a thousand memor ies can't be wrong
