D               G                   D
Now and then an old friend tries to help me 
                                       A7
By telling me there's someone I should meet 
    D                G                  D
But I don't have the heart to start all over 
                          A7           D
'Cause my heart is laying at another's feet. 
D                      G              D
You just don't put new patches on old garments 
                               A7   E A7
I don't want no one else on my mind  
  D                  G           D
I just don't need no-body new to cling to 
                          A7                 D
I still love someone I've known a long, long time.  
 
I have built my world around a mem'ry  
And she's the only one that I let in  
Ev'ry-time I've tried to love somebody 
In my mind I'm loving her again. 
 
CHORUS
