You Cant Put Your Arms Around A Memory

D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D Dsus4

D                  G
It doesn't pay to try,
B5                   D
All the smart boys know why,
D                         G
It doesn't mean, I didn't try,
B5                  D
I just never know, why.

D Dsus4

like the first verse
It's isn't 'cause I'm all alone
Oh, baby, you're not home.
And when I'm home
Big deal, I'm still alone.

It's so restless, I am,
Beat my head against a pole
Try to knock some sense, down 'side my bones.
And even though it don't show,
Those guys are so old.

D                A           D     A       G

Can't put your arms around a memory,
Can't put your arms around a memory,
Can't put your arms around a memory.

       A
Don't try
       G
Don't try

You're just a basket case.
And you got no name.
Could you live with me ?
Go on and say.
And even though it don't show
Those guys are so old.
Can't put your arms around a memory,

Can't put your arms around a memory.
Can't put your arms around a memory.
Don't try
Don't try
