      D             A               D
Oh, I hear familiar sounds down the sidewalk
                    A             D
Gettin' closer with every step he takes
                            A              D
Lord, I'm so afraid that if I look out the window
G       D              A                D
I'll be tempted to re- peat an old mis- take

[Chorus]
                D    D7              G
Don't open that door to an old memo- ry
                   D                   Bm7                     Em  A
When he said good- bye, I locked it up tight and threw out the key
                   D     D7                    G    Gm
I've stood here be fore, Lord I can't stand no more
                  D                         Em        A         D
Won't go there a- gain, heart don't let him in, don't open that door

    D               A                 D
The stronger me has found the will to fight it
                          A                D
But now he's gone and the weaker side's in tears
                         A                D       G
Lord, it took so long to put the hurt be- hind me
           D             A                  D
If I don't look back the past can't find me here

[Chorus]
                D    D7              G
Don't open that door to an old memo- ry
                   D                   Bm7                     Em  A
When he said good- bye, I locked it up tight and threw out the key
                   D     D7                    G    Gm
I've stood here be fore, Lord I can't stand no more
                  D                         Em        A         D    Em F#m G
Won't go there a- gain, heart don't let him in, don't open that door |

[Tag]
                  D                         Em
Won't go there a- gain, heart don't let him in
          A         G    D A D
Don't you open that door
