Intro: G, Am, Em, Em
G Am Em
I'm living with your memory
G Am Em
In the attic in my mind
G Am Em
And you've been getting by without me
G Am Em
But I've been spending all my time
G Am Em
With a girl that I remember
G Am Em
Who'll never leave or need to grow
G Am Em
'Cos when you left, you left your memory
G Am Em
Now it's the only thing I know
G Am Em
When the past gives me discomfort
G Am Em
And the future is a cost
G Am Em
The way I'm choosing to remember
G Am Em
I'll forever be the man I never was
G Am Em G Am Em
And y----o----u, you f---a---d---e
G Am Em G Am Em
But the memory remains, the same
G Am Em G Am Em
And I---------I, I can't ch---a---nge
G Am Em
And I think that living with your memory
G Am Em
Is slowly driving me insane
G Am Em
You were perfect but you're empty
G Am Em
And it gets so lonely in my mind
G Am Em
'Cos your image in my memory's
G Am Em
The only shred of you that's left behind
G Am Em
You were real but then you left me
G Am Em
And that's the part I can't accept
G Am Em
So I'll keep on living with your memory
G Am Em
Because it's all that I've got left
G Am Em
It's all that I've got left
