[Intro]
| C | C/E | Am | F |
[Verse 1]
C F
Here I am alone, strumming this guitar,
G C** G**
at home on a Friday night when I oughta be at the bar.
C F
I told all my friends I needed time to think
G C** G**
but the truth of it is think I?ll just stay here and drink.
[Chorus]
C C/E Am F
'Cause you?re a memory I can?t stop, a heartache on the jukebox,
C C/E Am G
a hurting feeling when that needle drops down on the groove.
C C/E Am F
You're the lead even in the story, you were good but no good for me,
Am G F C/E
mama tried to warn me you?d break my heart in two.
F G (C)
Merle Haggard, woulda wrote songs about you.
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
C F
If the whiskey in this bottle don?t let me down
G C** G**
might not get over you but I?ll gain a little ground.
C F
Somehow it feels like the highs were worth the lows,
G C** G**
I know I might sound crazy, guess that?s the way love goes.
[Chorus]
C C/E Am F
You?re a memory I can?t stop, a heartache on the jukebox,
C C/E Am G
a hurting feeling when that needle drops down on the groove.
C C/E Am F
You're the lead even in the story, you were good but no good for me,
Am G F C/E
mama tried to warn me you?d break my heart in two.

Yeah, a good one, a sad one, wish I had you back one,
Am G F F
when he sang those heartbroke songs sure sounds like he had one.
[End-Chorus]

You?re a memory I can?t stop, a heartache on the jukebox,
C C/E Am G
a hurting feeling when that needle drops down on the groove.

You're the lead even in the story, you were good but no good for me,
