You can't put your arms around a memory

D 

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

G                  A             D 
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 
G        A       D     
Don't try, don't try 

D                     G    b 
You're just a bastard kid, 
               D 
And you got no name 
D                        G   b 
Cause you're living with me, 
                D 
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
