You Or Your Memory

                   E                         C#m
I checked into a bargain-priced room on La Cienaga
F#m                                   A            E
Gazed out through the curtains at the parking lot
                    E                        C#m
Walked down to the corner store just before nightfall in my bare feet
F#m                   A          E
  Black tarry asphalt, soft and hot
           F#m                             E
And when I came back, I spread out my supplies
        F#m                            B
On the counter by the sink, looked myself right in the eyes


[Chorus]
                    E
St. Joseph's baby aspirin
A            B
 Bartles and Jaymes
     E
And you
         A     B  E
Or your memory


[Verse 2]
                    E                             C#m
I ducked behind the drapes when I saw the moon begin to rise
F#m                      A                      E
Gathered in my loose ends switched off the light
                      E                           C#m
And down there in the dark I could see the real truth about me
F#m             A                                E
As clear as day, Lord, if I make it through tonight
            F#m      E
Then I will mend my ways
               F#m                B
And walk the straight path to the end of my days


[Chorus]

                     E
St. Joseph's baby aspirin
A            B
 Bartles and Jaymes
    E
And you
         A     B
Or your memory
