Conan Gray - Memories

[intro]
One, two

[verse 1]
     B
It's been a couple months
D#m                G#m
That's just about enough time
F#              E
For me to stop cryin' when I look at
            B
all the pictures
Now I kinda smile,
C#m                         F#
I haven't felt that in a while
     B
It's late, I hear the door
D#m                   G#m
Bell ringin' and it's pourin'
F#              E
I open up that door,
                            B
see your brown eyes at the entrance
You just wanna talk and
C#m                F#
I can't turn away a wet dog

[pre-chorus]
    B            D#m          G#m
But please don't ruin this for me
   F#                 E                B
Please don't make it harder than it already is
    C#m7            F#
I'm trying to get over this

[chorus]
B                       F#
  I wish that you would stay in my memories
G#m                  F#
  But you show up today just to ruin things
E
I wanna put you in the
G#m
past 'cause I'm traumatized
C#m7
But you're not lettin' me do
 F#
that 'cause tonight
           B
You're all drunk in my kitchen curled in the
F#
fetal position
         G#m
Too busy playin' the victim to be
 F#
listenin' to me
          E
When I say "I wish that you would
G#m
stay in my memories"
C#m7             F#
In my memories, stay in my memories

[verse 2]
    B
Now I can't say "Goodbye"
D#m                   G#m
if you stay here the whole night
F#                            E
You see it's hard to find an end
                                B
to somethin' that you keep beginning
Over and over again
C#m                        F#
I promise that the ending always stays the same
           B
So there's no good reason to
  D#m                G#m             F#
make believin' that we could ever exist again
                E
I can't be your friend, can't be your lover
             B
Can't be the reason we hold back
                           C#m
each other from falling in love
              F#
With somebody other than me

[chorus]
B                       F#
  I wish that you would stay in my memories
G#m                  F#
  But you show up today just to ruin things
E
I wanna put you in the
G#m
past 'cause I'm traumatized
C#m7
But you're not lettin' me do
 F#
that 'cause tonight
           B
You're all drunk in my kitchen curled in the
F#
fetal position
         G#m
Too busy playin' the victim to be
 F#
listenin' to me
          E
When I say "I wish that you would
G#m
stay in my memories"
C#m7             F#
In my memories, stay in my memories

[bridge]
E          Em
Since you came
  B                   D#
I guess I'll let you stay
       E           Em
For as long as it takes
             B               F#/A#
To grab your books and your coat
          G#m         F#
And that one good cologne
          D#7                  E
That you bought when we were fighting
             B           F#/A#
'Cause it's still on my clothes,
       G#m           F#
everything that I own
        D#7                 E
And it makes me feel like dying
      D#               E
I was barely just surviving

[chorus]
B                       F#
  I wish that you would stay in my memories
G#m                  F#
  But you show up today just to ruin things
E
I wanna put you in the
G#m
past 'cause I'm traumatized
C#m7
But you're not lettin' me do
 F#
that 'cause tonight
           B
You're all drunk in my kitchen curled in the
F#
fetal position
         G#m
Too busy playin' the victim to be
 F#
listenin' to me
          E
When I say "I wish that you would
G#m
stay in my memories"
C#m7
In my memories,
 F#              Em D#7 B
stay in my memories
