Intro: C (x4)

C               F
Doesn't pay to try.
Am                    C
At least my boys know why.
C                      F
Doesn't mean I didn't try,
Am               C
Just never know why.

C                  F
Feel so cold and alone
Am                 C
'Cause baby you're not at home,
C             F
And when I'm home
Am     C
I am alone.

C (x4)

C                   F
Feel so restless, I am
Am                      C
Beat my head against a post.
C                  F
Try to knock some sense
Am          C
Down on my bones.

C                           F
And even though they don't show,
Am                   C
The scars aren't so old.
C             F
And when they go,
Am               C
They'll let you know.

     F              G            C
You can't put your arms around a memory
     F              G            C
You can't put your arms around a memory
     F              G            C
You can't put your arms around a memory
      F
Don't try
      F
Don't try
      G
Don't try

C (x4)

C                      F
You're just a bastard kid
Am              C
And you got no name
C                         F
'Cause you're living with me.
Am                 C
We're one and the same.

C                           F
And even though they don't show
Am                C
The scars aren't old
C             F
And when they go
Am                  C
They gonna let you know

          F              G             C
That you can't put your arms around a memory
     F              G             C
You can't put your arms around a memory.

You can't put your arms around a memory.
       F
