Best Of Me

[G]  [D/F]  [Em]  [D]  [Cadd9]

I found a b[G]ox of memories,

Read a letter,
Dropped a t[D/F]ear where you signed your name,
And turning the p[Em]age,
Smearing the i[D]nk into "Love Alwa[Cadd9]ys."

Girl, I al[G]ways start this way a
End then I end up in a bot[D/F]tle screaming out your name,
Punching the wa[Em]lls, carrying [D]on like I've gone insan[Cadd9]e,

[Bm]And in the mirror,
I can see the man who just shook his h[Em]ead with no remorse,
[Bm]Watching an angel cry her tears,
Stepping over my be[Em]ers as you walked out the do[D]or.

And there ain't [G]nothing like a memory,
When it's coming on s[Em]trong like a hurricane.
How can [Cadd9]love like that just up and walk aw[D/F]ay?

Killing me baby.
It's got me p[G]ouring up another drink,
Bourbon's hitting me h[Em]ard like a freight train,
With my [Cadd9]back against the wall or on my k[D/F]nees,
When the worst of your m[D]emory gets the best of m[G]e.   [D]        [Cadd9]

[G]Well, I remember it all too well, riding [E]44[F]1 down to Milledgeville,
Crossing the b[Em]ridge as the sun set on Lake Sin[Cadd9]clair.

I couldn't w[G]ait to see you smile,
But all I saw were te[E]ar[F]s in your pretty eyes and that said it a[Em]ll,
It was all downhill from t[Cadd9]here.
[Bm]And I remember you saying, "Baby, please [Em]don't give up on me."
[Bm]Oh my baby, this stubborn man is gonna [Em]lie in the bed he ma[D]de.

'Cause there ain[G]'t nothing like a memory,
When it's coming on [Em]strong like a hurricane.
How can [Cadd9]love like that just up and walk aw[D/F]ay?

Killing me baby.
It's got me p[G]ouring up another drink,
Bourbon's hitting me h[Em]ard like a freight train,
With my [Cadd9]back against the wall or on my kn[Em]ees,
When the worst of your me[D]mory gets the be[G]st, [Em]    the best[Cadd9] of me.  [D]

Baby, there ain't not[G]hing like a memory,
When it's coming on st[Em]rong like a hurricane.
How can [Cadd9]love like that just up and walk a[D/F]way?

Your killing me baby.
Got me pou[G]ring up another drink,
Bourbon's hitting me h[Em]ard like a freight train,
With my [Cadd9]back against the wall or on my kn[D/F]ees,
When the words to your mem[D]ory gets the best, the best of me.
