The Memories Remain Chords & Lyrics - Misc Your Songs - Lucia Hrin

[INTRO]
[C] [Dm] [F] [G7] [C]

[VERSE 1]
[C]We were born, three and three; [Dm]You the brother ahead of me
We [F]spent our summers climbing that old [G7]tree
[C]We’d dig tunnels in the yard, build [Dm]sand castles for our matchbook cars
Who [F]knew for you life would be so [G7]hard

[VERSE 2]
We’d [C]sleep outside called by the stars, [Dm]You’d run off when the night was dark
Morning [F]found you snorin’ my [G7]side
You p[C]layed drums even in your sleep, you c[Dm]ouldn’t stop your hands and feet
You l[F]ater had to follow where they [G7]led

[CHORUS]
[Dm]Family feuds, there were many, what [C]mattered most, hardly any
Ad[Dm]venture called each [F]one of us a[G7]way
The [Dm]years and miles [F]saw us scattered, I [C]didn’t know your [Am7]mind was shattered
You [Dm]left this world with [F]so much more to [G7]say, but the memories re[C]main

[VERSE 3]
The [C]school years really got you down, your[Dm] words and letters turned around
It se[F]emed so hard for you to find your [G7]way
[C]You left home and I lost track, the [Dm]You I knew wasn’t comin’ back
What h[F]appened in those years it’s hard to [G7]say

[VERSE 4]
You’d [C]disappear sometimes for years, [Dm]always running from your fears
The h[F]omeless life the one you had to [G7]choose
You [C]lost your teeth along the way; you [Dm]had your beard, still not grey
Under the [F]bridge there’s nothin’ left to [G7]loose

[CHORUS]
[Dm]Family feuds, there were many, what [C]mattered most, hardly any
Ad[Dm]venture called each [F]one of us a[G7]way
The [Dm]years and miles [F]saw us scattered, I [C]didn’t know your [Am7]mind was shattered
You [Dm]left this world with [F]so much more to [G7]say, but the memories re[C]main

[VERSE 5]
One [C]winter night on a Texas Road; Two [Dm]sleepin’ bags kept off the cold
Miles a[F]way the Dallas night a[G7]blaze
A po[C]lice chase began that night, a [Dm]hit and run would end your life
They t[F]old me that you never felt a [G7]thing

[CHORUS]
[Dm]Family feuds, there were many, what [C]mattered most, hardly any
Ad[Dm]venture called each [F]one of us a[G7]way
The [Dm]years and miles [F]saw us scattered, I [C]didn’t know your [Am7]mind was shattered
You [Dm]left this world with [F]so much more to [G7]say, but the memories re[C]main

[OUTRO]
[Dm]Those you touched aren’t the same
[G7]We remember your name
[C]and the memories remain
