[Verse 1]

Used to be that I could see

A reason to be happy

'Cause I was free

But then, recently it seems

I've been lettin' your mem'ry get to me


[Verse 2]

Used to be that I could pretend

That I wasn't really hurt back then

But then, recently it seems

I've been lettin' your mem'ry get to me

'Cause


[Chorus]

Mem'ries can be friends

Or they can take you to a place

That you never thought you'd be again

And take you to a place

That you never ever thought

That you would see again


[Guitar Solo: Maury Muehleisen]


[Chorus]

Mem'ries can be friends

Or they can take you to a place

That you never thought you'd be again

And take you to a place

That you never ever thought

That you would see again


[Verse 3]

Doesn't matter now who was wrong

The future is tomorrow

'Cause the past is gone

And I'm findin' that I'm not as strong

As I thought that I used to be

'Cause, recently it seems

I've been lettin' your mem'ry get to me
