Verse:
                   G
It's no secret, no mystery

How you once loved me so
                      D        D7
Now you're part of my history
                      G
That was a long time ago
      D              G
You'd think I'd have learned

To your memory

Verse:
    D            G
You leaned on my shoulder
                 C    G  Am
You whispered my name
                  D          D7
Now the fire only smoulders
             G
Only ashes remain
      D             G
But I still feel it burn
                     C    Cm
I can still feel the heat

I always return

I just can't explain how the sound of you name
Em
Rings in my ears all the time
    A                   A7
And try as I may to run farther away
    C                  D7  D
The closer you follow behind___

Verse:

I wish I'd never met you
               C    G  Am
I dream of you still
                      D        D7
Though I pray I'll forget you
                       G
I don't believe I ever will
           D            G
You're the page I can't turn
                C    Cm
I can't bear to read
           D     D7
I always return
            G    C
To your memory

Guess I'll always return
            C  Cm  G   D  G
To your memory_______
