[Verse]
              G                 D
I think that I will just take a memory,
            A          C  G     D
A small one that I know    real well, then go.
                     G                     D
What I'll take is all the happy thoughts I can recall,
                 A            C  G           D
But I know there won't be much    that I can bear to touch.

             G                     D
So I'll just take what my mind can stand.
               A              G
'Cause there's not a lot that you can hold

[Chorus]
D    C G D
In trembling hands.
                    G                           D
Just these last few hopeful things that we left lay.
A   D   C G D
Then quickly leave before any more get in my way.

So I'll just take what my mind can stand.
               A              G

D    C G D
In trembling hands.
                    G                           D
Just these last few hopeful things that we left lay.
A   D   C G D C G D
Then quickly leave before any more get in my way.
