The Best Of Me

[G] | [G/f#] | [G] | [G]/[F#] | [G] | [G/f#]| [Em] | [D] | [C]

 Found a [G]box of memories,
                          [G/f#]
 Read a letter, Dropped a tear where you signed your name.
 And turnin' the [Em]page, smearin' the [D]ink and the love al[C]ways.
 Girl I [G]always start this way.
                     [G/f#]
 Then I wind up in a bottle screamin' out your name.
 And Punchin' the [Em]walls, carryin' [D]on like I've gone in[C]sane
 [D/E]In the mirror I can see the man that just shook his [C]head with no remorse
 [D/E]Watched an angel cryin tears packin all her [C]things as she walked out the
 [D]door

 Cause there ain't [G]nothin' like a memo[G]ry
 When it's comin' on [Em]strong like a hurricane
 How can [C]love like that just up and walk [D]away

 It's killin' me baby
             [G]                  [G/f#]
 It's got me pourin' up another drink
 Bourbon's hittin' me [Em]hard like a freight train
 With my [C]back against a wall or on my [Em]knees
                        [D]                       [G] | [G/f#] | [Em]
 When the worst of your memory gets the best of me

 I rem[G]ember it all too well
          [G/f#]
 Ridin' 441 down to Milledgeville
 And Crossin' the [Em]bridge, while the [D]sun set on Lake Saint [C]Claire
 I couldn't [G]wait to see your smile,
                   [G/f#]
 but all I saw was tears in you pretty eyes
 And That said it [Em]all, it was [D]all down hill from [C]there.
 [D/E]And I remember you saying baby please [C]don't give up on me
 [D/E]All but baby this stubborn man is gonna [C]lie in the bed h[D]e made

 Cause there ain't [G]nothin' like a memo[G]ry
 When it's comin' on [Em]strong like a hurricane
 How can [C]love like that just up and walk [D]away

 It's killin' me baby
             [G]                  [G/f#]
 It's got me pourin' up another drink
 Bourbons hittin' me [Em]hard like a freight train
 With my [C]back against a wall or on my [Em]knees
                        [D]                       [Em] | [G/f#] | [C] | [D]
 When the worst of your memory gets the best of me

(chords in background)

 Cause there ain't [G]nothin' like a memory
 When it's comin' on [Em]strong like a hurricane
 How can [C]love like that just up and walk [D]away

 It's killin' me baby (full sound on chords now)
             [G]                  [G/f#]
 It's got me pourin' up another drink
 Bourbons hittin' me [Em]hard like a freight train
 With my [C]back against a wall or on my [Em]knees
                        [D]                       [G]  | [G/f#] | [Em] | [D] | [C]
 When the worst of your memory gets the best of me

[G] | [G/f#] | [Em] | [D] | [C]

This is in my opinion Jason Aldean's best song yet. And it's a shame that it
probably won't hit the radio.
