The lights go out each [A] evening at eleven, [E] and up and down our block there's [E] not a sound.
I close my eyes in search for [A] peaceful slumber, and just [D] then the local memory [A] comes around.
[D] Piles of blues against the door, that [A] makes your sleep come no more.
She's the hardest working memory [E] in the town.
[D] Turns out happiness again, [A] then lets loneliness back in, [D] and each night the local memory [A] comes around.
[E] Each day I say tonight [A] I may escape her.
[E] I pretend I'm happy, and never even [A] frown.
[E] But at night I close my eyes and pray sleep finds [A] me, [D] but again [E] the local memory [A] comes around.
Rids [D] the house of all good news, then [A] sets out my crying shoes.
What a faithful memory never [E] lets me down.
We're [D] both up till light of day chasing [A] happiness away, and [D] each night the local [E] memory comes [A] around.
