G D
I was going through the closet, back in my old home
C D
Found my lettermans jacket, so I slipped it on
G D
Deep in the pocket, still folded up tight
C D
Was the letter you wrote, to tell me goodbye
G D
The minute I saw it, I just had to smile
C D
It smelled like old leather, as smooth as a child
G D
I took a deep breath, and put it away
C D
There was no need to read it, I knew just what it would say
[Chorus:]
G
I know the words by heart
D
I know every line
C
>From this ain't easy
D
To you'll get along just fine
G D
I know every comma, every question mark
C
No I don't have to look
D G
I know the words by heart
[End Chorus]
G D
Scenes like old movies, flash through my head
C D
The homecoming game, the night on my bed
G D
The words that you wrote, still cut me in two
C D
How you said you still cared, but that we were through
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge]
Em C
Ain't it funny how a memory
G D
Can play tricks on your mind
Em C
I don't remember a thing from my classes
G C D
But I can quote you every line
[End bridge]
G D
I took off my jacket, and put it away
C D
With your note in the pocket, like I found it that day
G D
Poured me a beer, then pictured your face
C D
And drank a silent toast, to things that time can't erase
[Repeat Chorus X2]
