Strain Your Memory Chords & Lyrics - The Menzingers

[INTRO]
[D] [Bm] x5

[VERSE 1]
May the [D]highways cross their fingers and hope
[Bm]That we may one day find ourselves home
[D]She sticks her head outside the passenger window
[Bm]Sighs as traffic stops and goes
[D]It's been two weeks now living in this southern town
[Bm]We hoped the change would change our restless minds
[D]A little rewind to a simpler time
[Bm]I swear it's temporary living in this cheap m[G]otel
Somewhere in the b[A]ible belt
[D]We made love at that Marietta Motel 6
[Bm]You fell asleep on my shoulder of commitment
[D]Took it as a sign everything would be fine
[Bm]Sometimes it takes these kind of nights just to real[G]ize
How we want to spend the [A]rest of our lives

[CHORUS]
Could a [D]diamond in the rough ever [G]be enough
I've been [A]mining for your love
Since the [D]day that we met I've spent every [G]second in your [A]minefield digging it up
Can you [G]strain your memory [A]back to the times
When [G]trouble wasn't always, [A]always on our [D]minds
Trouble wasn't [Bm]always on our minds
Back to the [D]times when trouble wasn't [Bm]always on our minds

[G] [A] x2

[VERSE 2]
And now the [D]hotel maids were bangin' down the door
[Bm]As if they came looking for some answers
[D]When ya gonna leave? Where ya gonna go?
[Bm]Will you get your shit together?
When are you gonna marry [G]her?
Well maybe you don't de[A]serve her
Maybe the whole thing was [G]doomed from the start
This inquisition is [A]tearing me apart

[CHORUS]
Could a [D]diamond in the rough ever [G]be enough
I've been [A]mining for your love
Since the [D]day that we met I've spent ever[G]y second in your [A]minefield digging it up
Can you [G]strain your memory [A]back to the times
When [G]trouble wasn't always [A]on our minds
Can you [G]strain your memory [A]one more time
When [G]trouble wasn't always,[A] always on our [D]minds
When trouble wasn't [Bm]always on our minds
Back to the [D]times when trouble wasn't [Bm]always on our minds [D]
