[F#] [B]
[D#m] [D] [F#] You can find me [B] in a dim light, [F#] or
And she's not looking for you.
If your coldness should ever [C#] turn warm
You think she's gonna change?
[F#] But the chances [B] of you [F#] ever changing
She's not gonna change, John.
Are as slim [C#] as your two [F#] loving arms
[C#] [F#] So I'm [G#m] turning off [B] [F#] a memory
As quickly as my [C#] willow now
Why don't you get off the phone and have [F] a drink?
Yes, [F#]
I'm [B] turning off [F#] this memory
I'm gonna turn up the bottle while you turn off the memory.
And the wine seems to [C#] help me [F#]
somehow
[D#m] [C#] [F#] Now you wrote it, [B] Hank, I guess you can play it.
[F#]
[C] [B] [C#]
[F#]
[B] [F#]
Mmm
[G#m] [F#] [G#m] [F#]
[Bm]
If [F#] he's lucky, [B] he'll someday [F#] forget her
Boy, I'm glad somebody understood.
When the wine finally takes full [F] control
I guarantee you, Hank, it will.
Now [F#] that's not much [B] of a future [F#] to look to
Future?
What future?
But I can't stand to see [C#] the pain [F#] in his soul
And he's [B] turning off [F#] a memory
As quickly as time will [C#] allow
[D#] [C#]
[F#] Yes, he's turning [B] off [F#]
a memory
And the wine seems to [C#] help me [F#]
somehow
Yes, the wine [G#] seems to help [G#m] me [F#] somehow
Yes, I'm [B] turning off [F#] a [Bm] memory
[F#]
