Verse 1:
D                  G
It doesn't pay to try
Bm                  D
All the smart boys know why
D                         G
It doesn't mean I didn't try
Bm                D
I just never know why
 D                    G
Feel so cold and all alone
 Bm                D
Baby, you're still not at home
 D            G
And when I'm home
Bm              D     Dsus4  D
Big deal, I'm still  alone

Verse 2:
 D                 G
Feel  so  restless, I am
 Bm                  D
Beat my head against  a pole
 D                  G
Try to knock some sense
 Bm         D
Down in my bones
 D                      G
Even though they don't show
 Bm                D
These scars aren't so old
 D            G
And when they go
 Bm           D
They let you know
 
 
Chorus:
     G              A              D

You can't put your arms around a memory
     G              A              D
You can't put your arms around a memory

Don't tryyyyyyy, don't try

Verse 3:
  D                    G
You're just a bastard kid
Bm              D
And you got no name
  D                      G
Cause you're living with me
 Bm                D
We're one and the same
 D                          G
And even though they don't show
 Bm              D
The scars aren't so old
 D            G
And when they go
 Bm           D
They let you know
