Verse 1
A5      G5            D5              E5
My mind is filled with thoughts of you
A5      G5            D5              E5
I think about the days of two
A5      G5            D5              E5
I search the room but you're not there
A5      G5            D5              E5
Your perfume lingers everywhere

Chorus
But it's
F5                  E5
Only a memory
F5                                    G5
Of what our love was going to be
D5                E5
Only a memory
F5                              G5
Broken bits of you and me
D5              E5
Only a memory
F5              G5                        D5
Only a memory

Verse 2
In a world of pain I have no peer
You fade away and disappear
And no I have to learn the game
Where no one wins or takes the blame
But it's
Chorus
Only a memory
Of what our love was going to be
Only a memory
Now that we are history
Only a memory
Only a memory

But it's
Only a memory
Of what our love was going to be
Only a memory
Broken bits of you and me
Only a memory
Only a memory

Chorus
Verse 3
Why should it matter if I cry
I sit around and wonder why
Now I feel much too weak to live
And I've got nothing left to give
Now it's

Chorus
Only a memory
Of what our love was going to be
Only a memory
Broken bits of you and me
Only a memory
Only a memory
Only a memory
