Intro:

One, two

Verse 1:
     B
It's been a couple months
Ebm                Abm
That's just about enough time
Gb              E                                B
For me to stop cryin' when I look at all the pictures
                   Dbm                         Gb
Now I kinda smile, I haven't felt that in a while
     B
It's late, I hear the door
Ebm                   Abm
Bell ringin' and it's pourin'
Gb              E                                B
I open up that door, see your brown eyes at the entrance

You just wanna talk and
Dbm                Gb
I can't turn away a wet dog

Pre-chorus:
    B            Ebm            Abm
But please don't ruin this for me
Gb                    E                B
Please don't make it harder than it already is
    Dbm7            Gb
I'm trying to get over this

Chorus:
B                       Gb
  I wish that you would stay in my memories
Abm                  Gb
  But you show up today just to ruin things
E                      Abm
I wanna put you in the past 'cause I'm traumatized
Dbm7                          Gb
But you're not lettin' me do that 'cause tonight
           B                                 Gb
You're all drunk in my kitchen curled in the fetal position
         Abm                       Gb
Too busy playin' the victim to be listenin' to me
          E                       Abm
When I say "I wish that you would stay in my memories"
Dbm7             Gb
In my memories, stay in my memories

Verse 2:
    B                     Ebm                   Abm
Now I can't say "Goodbye" if you stay here the whole night
Gb                            E
You see it's hard to find an end to somethin' that you keep beginning
B
Over and over again
Dbm                        Gb
I promise that the ending always stays the same
           B                 Ebm                  Abm             Gb
So there's no good reason to make believin' that we could ever exist again
                E
I can't be your friend, can't be your lover
             B                                              Dbm
Can't be the reason we hold back each other from falling in love
              Gb
With somebody other than me

Chorus:
B                       Gb
  I wish that you would stay in my memories
Abm                  Gb
  But you show up today just to ruin things
E                      Abm
I wanna put you in the past 'cause I'm traumatized
Dbm7                          Gb
But you're not lettin' me do that 'cause tonight
           B                                 Gb
You're all drunk in my kitchen curled in the fetal position
         Abm                       Gb
Too busy playin' the victim to be listenin' to me
          E                       Abm
When I say "I wish that you would stay in my memories"
Dbm7             Gb
In my memories, stay in my memories

Bridge:
E          Em
Since you came
  B                   Eb
I guess I'll let you stay
       E           Em
For as long as it takes
             B               Gb  
To grab your books and your coat
          Abm         Gb
And that one good cologne
          Eb7                  E
That you bought when we were fighting
             B           Gb             Abm           Gb
'Cause it's still on my clothes, everything that I own
        Eb7                 E
And it makes me feel like dying
      Eb               E
I was barely just surviving

Chorus:
B                       Gb
  I wish that you would stay in my memories
Abm                  Gb
  But you show up today just to ruin things
E                      Abm
I wanna put you in the past 'cause I'm traumatized
Dbm7                          Gb
But you're not lettin' me do that 'cause tonight
           B                                 Gb
You're all drunk in my kitchen curled in the fetal position
         Abm                       Gb
Too busy playin' the victim to be listenin' to me
          E                       Abm
When I say "I wish that you would stay in my memories"
Dbm7             Gb
In my memories, stay in my memories
