The Best of Me
Intro G G/F# G G/F# G G/F# Em7 C
Verse 1:
G
I found a box of memories
G/F#
Read a letter dropped a tear where you signed your name
Em7 D/F# C
And turnin the page smearing the ink and the love always
G
Girl I always start this way
G/F#
Then I end up in a bottle screaming out your name
Em7 D/F# C
And punching the walls, carrying on like I've gone insane
D/F# C
In the mirror I can see the man that just shook his head with no remorse
D/F# C D
Watched an angel crying tears packing all her things as she walked out the door
Chorus:
G
Cause there ain't nothing like a memory
Em7
When its coming on strong like a hurricane
C D/F#
How can love like that just up and walk away
Its killing me baby
G
Its got me pouring up another drink
Em7
Bourbons hittin me hard like a freight train
C Em7
With my back against a wall or on my knees
D/F# G
When the worst of your memory gets the best of me
Verse 2:
G
I remember it all too well
G/F#
Riding 441 down to Milledgeville
Em7 D/F# C
Crossing the bridge as the sun set on lake St. Claire
G G/F#
I couldnt wait to see your smile but all I saw was tears in your pretty eyes
Em7 D/F# C
That said it all, it was all down hill from there
D/F# C
And I remember you saying baby please dont give up on me
D/F# C D
All but baby this stubborn man is gonna lie in the bed he made
Chorus X2
G G/F# Em7 C Until End.
