[Intro]
One, two

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

[Pre-Chorus]
    G            Bm            Em
But please don't ruin this for me
D                    C                G       
Please don't make it harder than it already is
    Am7            D       
I'm trying to get over this

[Chorus]
G                     D                  
I wish that you would stay in my memories
Em                D                      
But you show up today just to ruin things
C                      Em                         
I wanna put you in the past 'cause I'm traumatized
Am7                          D                  
But you're not lettin' me do that 'cause tonight
           G                                 D             
You're all drunk in my kitchen curled in the fetal position
         Em                       D              
Too busy playin' the victim to be listenin' to me
          C                       Em                  
When I say "I wish that you would stay in my memories"
Am7             D                  
In my memories, stay in my memories

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

[Chorus]
G                     D                  
I wish that you would stay in my memories
Em                D                      
But you show up today just to ruin things
C                      Em                         
I wanna put you in the past 'cause I'm traumatized
Am7                          D                  
But you're not lettin' me do that 'cause tonight
           G                                 D             
You're all drunk in my kitchen curled in the fetal position
         Em                       D              
Too busy playin' the victim to be listenin' to me
          C                       Em                  
When I say "I wish that you would stay in my memories"
Am7             D                  
In my memories, stay in my memories

[Bridge]
C          Cm 
Since you came
  G                   B  
I guess I'll let you stay
       C           Cm  
For as long as it takes
             G               D/F#
To grab your books and your coat
          Em         D   
And that one good cologne
          B7                  C      
That you bought when we were fighting
             G           D/F#          Em           D 
'Cause it's still on my clothes, everything that I own
        B7                 C   
And it makes me feel like dying
      B               C    
I was barely just surviving

[Chorus]
G                     D                  
I wish that you would stay in my memories
Em                D                      
But you show up today just to ruin things
C                      Em                         
I wanna put you in the past 'cause I'm traumatized
Am7                          D                  
But you're not lettin' me do that 'cause tonight
           G                                 D             
You're all drunk in my kitchen curled in the fetal position
         Em                       D              
Too busy playin' the victim to be listenin' to me
          C                       Em                  
When I say "I wish that you would stay in my memories"
Am7             D                  
In my memories, stay in my memories
