_ _ _ _ _
I've taken [A] down all [E] of her pictures. _ _ _
I've cleaned [B] out all of [E] her drawers. _ _
I've painted _ [A] over [E] the scratches
_ from _ _ all [B] of our [E] little wars. _ _
_ I've put [G#] away _ [C#m] _ every [E] guilt
[A] that she ever gave [E] to me. _ _
Now _ _ [B] everything _ [C#m] is in [A] its place
_ [E] except [B] for her [E] memory. _ _ _
And where [G#] do I [C#m] put her _ [E] memory
when [A] it _ haunts me night [E] and day? _ _
I can't _ [D#m] hide it in [C#m] the closet _ _
[F#] and Lord I can't throw it [B] away. _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [G#] _ _
_ [C#m] _ Her [E] memory, _
[A] when it's always in [E] my mind. _ _
I can't chase it, [B] erase it,
[C#m] I just have [A] to face it.
[E] It's gonna be there [B] a long, [E] long time. _ _
I _ _ [A] got rid [E] of the pillow
where _ _ she [B] used to lay [E] her head. _
_ I've picked [A] up her [E] hairpins and curlers _
that she dropped [B] on her side [E] of the bed. _ _
_ I've locked [G#] away _ [C#m] each [Bm] souvenir _
[A] and thrown _ away the [E] key. _ _ _
Now _ [B] everything _ [C#m] is in [A] its place
[E] except _ [B] for her [E] memory. _ _ _
And where do [G#] I put [C#m] her _ [E] memory
when [A] it's always in my [E] _ mind? _
I can't chase it, [B] erase it,
[C#m] I just [A] have to face it.
[E] It's gonna be there [B] a [C#m] long, long [A] time. _
[E] It's gonna be there [B] a long, [A] long time. _ _ _
