[G]
[C] I doubt I'll ever [Em] put [G] this on [Am] record, [Em] it's more [F] of a letter [G] to you.
I [C] remember all them nights we spent [Am] together, I [Em] remember every [F] single I [G]
love you.
[C] Hell, you're better off [A] without me, [Am]
[Em] [G] but [F] I'll always [G] have you
[C] in my heart and in [Am] my memory.

[Em] [G] but [F] now I started my [G] family.
[C] We were on the verge of [Am] that happiness,
[Em] but [F] it had to end so [G] soon.
I
[C] doubt I'll ever put this on [Am] record, but [Em] it'll sound just [F] right in a smoke filled [G] room.
[F] So lay [G] your head down on [Am] his pillow,
[F] let [G] him hold [C] you tight.
[F] Cause he [G] didn't hurt you [C] the [G] way [Am] I did,
[F] and I'll [G] just wish I was [C] him tonight.

[F] I wish [G] I had a chance [Am] to go back,
[F] and if [G] I did I'd make it [Am] right.
[F] But I [G] don't expect you to [Am] believe that,
[F] cause [G] after all you're twice [Am] shy.
And I'm [F] still standing on [G] the fighting side [C] of time.
[F] So lay [G] your head down on [Am] his pillow,
[F] [G] let him hold [C] you tight.
