[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
