D5 

D5                 G5    B5 
It doesn't pay to try, 
                   D5 
All the smart boys know why, 
D5                        G5    B5 
It doesn't mean I didn't try, 
                  D5 
I just never know why. 
D5                    G5      B5 
Feel so cold and all alone, 
                   D5 
Cause baby, you're not at home. 
D5            G5    B5 
And when I'm home 
              D5 
Big deal, I'm still alone. 

Feel so restless, I am , 

Beat my head against a pole 

Try to knock some sense,  

down in my bones. 

And even though they don't show, 

The scars aren't so old 

And when they go, 

They let you know 


G5                  A5             D5 
You can't put your arms around a memory 

You can't put your arms around a memory 

You can't put your arms around a memory 
G5        A5       D5     
Don't try, don't try 


D5                     G5    B5 
You're just a bastard kid, 
               D5 
And you got no name 
D5                        G5   B5 
Cause you're living with me, 
                D5 
We're one and the same 

And even though they dont show, 
They scars aren't so old 
And when they go, 
They let you know 

You can't put your arms around a memory 
You can't put your arms around a memory 
You can't put your arms around a memory 
Don't try, don't try 

You can't put your arms around a memory 
You can't put your arms around a memory 
You can't put your arms around a memory 
Don't try, don't try
