The Best of Me Lyrics

Intro G G/F# G G/F# G G/F# Em7 C
Verse 1:
I found a box of memories
Read a letter dropped a tear where you signed your name
And turnin the page smearing the ink and the love always
Girl I always start this way
Then I end up in a bottle screaming out your name
And punching the walls, carrying on like I've gone insane
In the mirror I can see the man that just shook his head with no remorse
Watched an angel crying tears packing all her things as she walked out the door
Chorus:
Cause there ain't nothing like a memory
When its coming on strong like a hurricane
How can love like that just up and walk away
Its killing me baby
Its got me pouring up another drink
Bourbons hittin me hard like a freight train
With my back against a wall or on my knees
When the worst of your memory gets the best of me
Verse 2:
I remember it all too well
Riding 441 down to Milledgeville
Crossing the bridge as the sun set on lake St. Claire
I couldnt wait to see your smile but all I saw was tears in your pretty eyes
That said it all, it was all down hill from there
And I remember you saying baby please dont give up on me
All but baby this stubborn man is gonna lie in the bed he made
G G/F# Em7 C Until End.
