There's a place I [F] can go
In my memory
[G] back to a life
I chose to [C] leave behind
And [G]
sometimes I [F] still need to [C] remember
When times were good [G]
[C] and you were mine
[C] I'm still living with my [F] reasons for [C] leaving
They
[G] must have [G] seemed more important at the [C] time
Now I only [F] dream about [C] the two of us
When times were good
[G] and you were [C] mine
I [G] [F] still have everything that came between us
My [G] old guitar and a weakness for the [C] wine
So [D] [F] tonight I thought I'd write one for [C] the memory
When times were good and [G] [C] you were mine
[F] [Am] [C]
[G]
[G] [C]
[F] [C]
[G] [C]
There's a golden [F] eagle rolling [C] out of Memphis
[Em] And a country singer still lost [C] between the lines
And I know that [F] this old road I'm on [C] will never lead me
When times were good [G] [C] and you were mine
I [F] still have everything that [C] came between us
[G] My old guitar and a weakness [C] for the wine
[Dm] So tonight I thought [F] I'd write one [C] for the memory
When times were good and [G] [C] you were mine
[G] [C]
[F] [C]
[C] [G]
[A]
[F] [C]
[G]
[C] I still [Cm] have [F] everything that [C] came between us
Like my [G] old guitar [D]
[G] and this hunger for [C] the wine
[F]
And tonight [Cm] I thought [F] I'd write one [C] for the memory
When times were good [G]
and [C] you were mine
When times were good [G]
and [F] you were mine
