You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory

It doesn't pay to try
All the smart boys know why
It doesn't mean, I didn't try
I just never know, why

It isn't 'cause I'm all alone
Oh, baby, you're not home
And when I'm home
Big deal, I'm still alone

It's so restless, I am
Beat my [A]head against a pole
Try to [C7]knock some sense, down 'side my [A]bones
And even though it don't show
Those guys are so old

Can't put your arms around a memory
Can't put your arms around a memory
Can't put your arms around a memory
Don't tɾy
Don't tɾy

You're just a basket case
And you [A7got [Fm7]no name
Could you [A7live with me?
Go on [C7]and [Bm]say
And even though it don't show
Those guys are so old
Can't put your arms around a memory

Can't put your arms around a memory
Can't put your arms around a memory
Can't put your arms around a memory
Don't tɾy
Don't tɾy

Johnny you're me
Yeah, you're memory
I want to [C7]put my [A]arms around your memory
I can't tɾy, I can't tɾy...don't tɾy
