NOTE: I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes, it's just that the original
tab was not in the right key. This song has a key change at the end, that
was not noted in the original tab.

Intro: (E)  (E)  (A)  (B)   (E)   (E) 

I was (B5) goin' through the closet
Back in (C#5) my old home
Found my (A5) letterman's jacket, so I sl(B5)ipped it on.
Deep in the pocket, still (C#5) folded up tight
Was the (A5) letter you wrote to (B5) tell me goodbye.
The minute I saw it I (C#5) just had to smile
It (A5) smelled like old leather, as sm(B5)ooth as a child.
I took a deep breath, then (C#5) put it away.
There was no (A5) need to read, I knew just (B5) what it would say.

 I know the (E) words by heart, I know (B) every line
 From (C#m) "this ain't easy" to "you'll (A) get along just (B) fine."
 I know (E) every comma, every (B) question mark.
 No, I don't (F#m) have to look, I know the (A) words (B) by (E) heart.

(B5) Scenes like home movies (C#5) flashed through my head.
That (A5) homecoming game, to that (B5) night on my bed.
The words that you wrote still (C#5) cut me in two,
How you (A5) said you still cared but (B5) that we were through.

REPEAT CHORUS

(C#m) Ain't it funny how a (B) memory (A) can play
tricks on your mind.
I don't re(C#m)member a thing from my (B) classes
But I can (F#m) quote you (E) every (A) line. (B)

I (C#5) took off my jacket and (B5) put it away
With your (A5) note in the pocket
Like I (B5) found it that day.
Poured me a beer, then (C#5) pictured your face
And drank a (D) silent toast to things that (E) time can't erase

 No, I don't (F#m) have to look, I know the (D) words (E) by (A) heart.
