[Verse 1]
   A        G           D           E
My mind is filled with thoughts of you
   A     G        D       E
I think about the days of two
  A          G        D          E
I search the room but you're not there
     A       G       D     E
Your perfume lingers everywhere,  but it's ...

[Chorus]
F      E             F                 G
Only a memory     Of what our love was going to be
D      E           F             G
Only a memory     Broken bits of you and me
D      E        F        G    D
Only a memory     Only a memory    (let ring out)

(Play intro riff 2 times over (A   G   D   G) )

[Verse 2]
     A       G      D       E
In a world of pain I have no peer
     A    G        D    E
You fade away and disappear
    A     G       D        E
And now I have to learn the game
     A     G       D         E
Where no one wins or takes the blame, but it's ...

[Chorus]
F      E            F                 G
Only a memory     Of what our love was going to be
D      E           F               G
Only a memory     Now that we are history
D      E         F      G    D
Only a memory     Only a memory  (let ring out)
                        A         G        D        G
(Play intro riff once alone, then again with bass & rhythm guitar, then drums)
                        A         G        D        G
(Play intro riff two more times, then verse x4, chords with solo over top)

But it's...

[Chorus]
F      E             F                 G
Only a memory     Of what our love was going to be
D      E           F             G
Only a memory     Broken bits of you and me
D      E        F        G    D
Only a memory     Only a memory    (let ring out)

[Verse 3]
  {no drums, no bass}
     A    G         D     E
Why should it matter if I cry
   A    G         D     E
I sit around and wonder why
    A     G        D       E
Now I feel much too weak to live
    A       G       D       E
And I've got nothing left to give,  now it's

[Chorus]
F      E            F                 G
Only a memory     Of what our love was going to be
D      E           F            G
Only a memory     Broken bits of you and me
D      E         F      G
Only a memory     Only a memory

F      E                      F     G
Only a memory (only a memory) Only a memory (only a memory)
F      E                      F      G
Only a memory (only a memory) Only a memory (only a memory)

(two more times)

F          E        F        G
Memory...(memory) Memory...(memory)
F          E        F         G
Memory...(memory) Memory...(memory) ...

(Fade)
