Intro:


Em      C


Verse 1:

Em                             G
Hank played on the radio yesterday
         C                   Cm           G
I can’t hear him now without seeing your face
Em                                            G
I think back to those nights parked in your drive
  C               Cm                 G
Branded me with songs that stay the test of time

Chorus:

D  Em                        G                       C
      I found the worse it stings the more that it lingers
Am                  D              G
    These days are long and they burn
D  Em                            G                  C
      You’ve been playing in my head since late September
Am              D          G        D
Oh, it’s bittersweet to remember
             F
It takes a melody
             C
To spark a memory


Interlude:

G     F     C


Verse 2:

Em                                                   G
Do you think of me when “Love sick Blues” is on the radio?
   C               Cm           G
Remember when you kissed me so soft and slow?
Em                                  G
Country boy, city girl, oh what a cliché
     C          Cm                  G
Our song played out and now you’re just a name


Chorus:

D  Em                        G                       C
      I found the worse it stings the more that it lingers
Am                  D              G
    These days are long and they burn
D  Em                            G                  C
      You’ve been playing in my head since late September
Am              D          G        D
Oh, it’s bittersweet to remember
             F
It takes a melody
             C
To spark a memory


Bridge:

Am                C             Em D
   I forget to forget you every day
Am                    C                Em        D
   And I know, and I know it’s time to turn the page
Am               C                  Em       D
   Every time I hear that song play all it takes
        F
Is a melody
             C
To spark a memory


Outro:

G                       F                        C
   Found the worse it stings the more that it lingers
G                  F             C
   These days are long and they burn
G                              F                 C
   You’ve been playing in my head since late September
G               F           C
Oh, it’s bittersweet to remember
G                       F                        C
   Found the worse it stings the more that it lingers
G                  F             C
   These days are long and they burn
G                              F                 C
   You’ve been playing in my head since late September
G               F           C
Oh, it’s bittersweet to remember
