Strain Your Memory

        D
May the 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                                           G
I swear it's temporary living in this cheap motel
                  A
Somewhere in the bible 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                                                  G
Sometimes it takes these kind of nights just to realize
                         A
How we want to spend the rest of our lives


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

G   A   x2


[Verse 2]
            D
And now the 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?
                         G
When are you gonna marry her?
                       A
Well maybe you don't deserve her
                          G
Maybe the whole thing was doomed from the start
                    A
This inquisition is tearing me apart


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