Words By Heart

(início)

    G                     D
I was going through the closet, back in my old home
    C               D
Found my lettermans jacket, so I slipped it on
G               D
Deep in the pocket, still folded up tight
    C              D
Was the letter you wrote, to tell me goodbye
  G            D
The minute I saw it, I just had to smile
   C                   D
It smelled like old leather, as smooth as a child
  G              D
I took a deep breath, and put it away
      C                   D
There was no need to read it, I knew just what it would say
     G
I know the words by heart
     D
I know every line
   C
>From this ain't easy
      D
To you'll get along just fine
G               D
I know every comma, every question mark
  C
No I don't have to look
           D G
I know the words by heart
{End Chorus}
G               D
Scenes like old movies, flash through my head
  C          D
The homecoming game, the night on my bed
  G                 D
The words that you wrote, still cut me in two
    C                  D
How you said you still cared, but that we were through
{Repeat Chorus}
{Bridge}
Em               C
Ain't it funny how a memory
G                D
Can play tricks on your mind
     Em                C
I don't remember a thing from my classes
       G      C   D
But I can quote you every line
{End bridge}
  G               D
I took off my jacket, and put it away
      C                 D
With your note in the pocket, like I found it that day
G             D
Poured me a beer, then pictured your face
       C                    D
And drank a silent toast, to things that time can't erase
