More Than a Memory — Garth Brooks

Chords and lyrics for More Than a Memory by Garth Brooks (key of C#).

Verse 1

[C#]People say she's only in my head.
[G#m][A#m]It's gonna take time, [F/C]but I'll [D#m]forget.
[C#/F]They [F#/C#]say I need [C#]to get home with my life.
[B]But they don't realize [F#]it's when you're dialing [C#/F]six numbers just to hear.

Chorus 1

I'm hanging up the phone, driving [Fm7]across town just to see if she's home.
[Fm]Wicking [A#m/F]a friend in the dead of night just [F#]to hear him say it's gonna be alright.
When you find [C#]the things that do not fall asleep,
cause you [G#/C]know she'll be there in your dreams.
[G#7/C][F#]That's when she's more [F#maj7/C#][D#m]than a memory.

Verse 2

[C#]Took her [F#]master everything she ever wrote.
[C#] [F]Watched her words go up the smoke.
[D#m] [A#] [D#] [C#/F]Shored [F#]all the pictures off the wall.
[C#] [B]That ain't helping [F#]me at all.

Chorus 2

Cause [C#/G#]when [F#]you're [C#]talking out loud, nobody's there.
You look [C]like hell and you just don't care.
[D#][A#]Drinking more than you ever drank.
[C#]Sinking [F#]down lower than you ever sank.
[D#m/F#]When you find [C#]yourself falling down upon your knees.
Paying [Cm]the guard and begging him please, [G#]that's [F#]when she's.
More [F][D#m]than a memory.

You're [F#]so young, [G#]dialing [C#]her number just to hang up the phone.
Driving [Cm]across town just to see if she's [G#/C]home.
[C#]Wicking a friend [A#]in the dead of night [C#]just to [F#sus2]hear him say it's [C#]gonna be [F#sus2/C#]alright.

Chorus 3

When you find [C#]the things that do not fall asleep,
cause you know [G#/C]she's waiting in your dreams.
