You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory

[Intro] D

D                 G    Bm
It doesn't pay to try
                   D
All the smart boys know why
D                        G    Bm
It doesn't mean I didn't try
                  D
I just never know why
D                    G      Bm
Feel so cold and all alone
                   D
Cause baby, you're not at home
D            G    Bm
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    Bm
You're just a bastard kid
               D
And you got no name
D                        G   Bm
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
