[Intro]
  
One, two
[Strophe]
     G 
It's been a couple months 
Bm                Em 
That's just about enough time 
D              C                                G 
For me to stop cryin' when I look at all the pictures 
                   Am                         D 
Now I kinda smile, I haven't felt that in a while 
     G 
It's late, I hear the door 
Bm                   Em 
Bell ringin' and it's pourin' 
D              C                                G 
I open up that door, see your brown eyes at the entrance 
  
You just wanna talk and 
Am                D 
I can't turn away a wet dog
[Pre-Refrain]
    G            Bm            Em 
But please don't ruin this for me 
D                    C                G 
Please don't make it harder than it already is 
    Am7            D 
I'm trying to get over this
[Refrain]
G                       D 
  I wish that you would stay in my memories 
Em                  D 
  But you show up today just to ruin things 
C                      Em 
I wanna put you in the past 'cause I'm traumatized 
Am7                          D 
But you're not lettin' me do that 'cause tonight 
           G                                 D 
You're all drunk in my kitchen curled in the fetal position 
         Em                       D 
Too busy playin' the victim to be listenin' to me 
          C                       Em 
When I say "I wish that you would stay in my memories" 
Am7             D 
In my memories, stay in my memories
[Strophe]
    G                     Bm                   Em 
Now I can't say "Goodbye" if you stay here the whole night 
D                            C 
You see it's hard to find an end to somethin' that you keep beginning 
G 
Over and over again 
Am                        D 
I promise that the ending always stays the same 
           G                 Bm                  Em             D 
So there's no good reason to make believin' that we could ever exist again 
                C 
I can't be your friend, can't be your lover 
             G                                              Am 
Can't be the reason we hold back each other from falling in love 
              D 
With somebody other than me
[Refrain]
G                       D 
  I wish that you would stay in my memories 
Em                  D 
  But you show up today just to ruin things 
C                      Em 
I wanna put you in the past 'cause I'm traumatized 
Am7                          D 
But you're not lettin' me do that 'cause tonight 
           G                                 D 
You're all drunk in my kitchen curled in the fetal position 
         Em                       D 
Too busy playin' the victim to be listenin' to me 
          C                       Em 
When I say "I wish that you would stay in my memories" 
Am7             D 
In my memories, stay in my memories
[Pont]
C          Cm 
Since you came 
  G                   B 
I guess I'll let you stay 
       C           Cm 
For as long as it takes 
             G               D/F# 
To grab your books and your coat 
          Em         D 
And that one good cologne 
          B7                  C 
That you bought when we were fighting 
             G           D/F#          Em           D 
'Cause it's still on my clothes, everything that I own 
        B7                 C 
And it makes me feel like dying 
      B               C 
I was barely just surviving
[Refrain]
G                       D 
  I wish that you would stay in my memories 
Em                  D 
  But you show up today just to ruin things 
C                      Em 
I wanna put you in the past 'cause I'm traumatized 
Am7                          D 
But you're not lettin' me do that 'cause tonight 
           G                                 D 
You're all drunk in my kitchen curled in the fetal position 
         Em                       D 
Too busy playin' the victim to be listenin' to me 
          C                       Em 
When I say "I wish that you would stay in my memories" 
Am7             D 
In my memories, stay in my memories
