[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
It doesn't pay to [F]try[Am]
[A]All the smart [Am]boys [C]know why

I just never [C]know, why

[Verse 2]
It isn't 'cause I'm all [F]alone
[Am]Oh, baby, you're not h[C]ome
And when I'm [F]home[Am]
Big deal, I'm still [C]alone

[Verse 3]
[C]
It's so restless, [F]I a[Am]m
Beat my head against [C]a pole
Try to knock some sense,
[F]dow[Am]n 'side my bones[C]
And even though it don't [F]show
[Am]Those guys are so ol[C]d

[Verse 4]

a [C]memory[G]
[F]Can't put your [G]arms around
[C]a memory[G]

[C]a memory[G]
Don't [F]try[G]
Don't [C]try

[Verse 5]
You're just a basket [F]case[Am]
And you got no [C]name
Could you live with [F]me?
[Am]Go on and say[C]
And even though it don't [F]show[Am]
Those guys are [C]so [F]old
Can't put your [G]arms around
a [C]memory[G]
[F]Can't put your

[Verse 6]
[G]arms around
[C]a memory[G]
