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