Lyrics

Hel lo a gain, it’s you and me,

kind a al ways like it used to be.

Sip pin’ wine, kill in’ time,

try’n’ to solve life’s mys ter ies.

How’s your life?

It’s been a while.

God, it’s good to see you smile.

I see you reach in’ for your keys, (F)look in’ for a rea son not to leave.

If you (C)don’t

know

(G)if you should stay, if you don’t

say

(F)what’s on your mind, ba by, just

breathe.

There’s (Em7)no where else to night we should (F)be.

You wan na make a (C)mem o ry?

I dug up this old pho to graph;

look at all that hair we had.

It’s bit ter sweet to hear you laugh.

Your phone is ring in’.

I don’t wan na ask.

If you (C)go

(G)I’ll un der stand.

If you stay,

hey,

(F)I got a plan.

You wan na make a (C)mem o ry?

You wan na steal a (Am)piece of time?

You can sing the (C)mel o dy

and I could write a (Am)cou ple lines.

You wan na make a (C)mem o ry?

If you don’t

know

(G)if you should stay, and you don’t

say

(F)what’s on your mind, ba by, just

breathe.

There’s (Em7)no where else to night we should (F)be.

You wan na make a (C)mem o ry?

You wan na steal a (Am)piece of time?

You could sing the (C)mel o dy

to (G)me

and I could write a (Am)cou ple lines.

You wan na make a (C)mem o ry?

Ooh, you wan na make a (C)mem o ry?
