How awesome is this song? When the pre-chorus sounds like the chorus and the chorus is just BOOM! Conan the Barbarian has proven his powers to play on our heartstrings again!
By the way, playing this on the 4th capo is the best way to play this song and I won’t have it any other way :)) Seriously tho, getting the timing of this is quite hard. But I am pretty sure that this is 99% accurate. Cheers guyys!
[Intro]
One, two
[Verse 1]
G D/F#
It's been a couple months......
Em D
That's just about enough time..
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 Bm
It's late, I hear the door
Em D
Bell ringin' and it's pourin'
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 from my door
[Pre-Chorus]
G D/F# Em
But please don't ruin this for me
D C Bm
Please don't make it harder than it already is
Am D
I'm trying to get over this
[Chorus]
G D/F# Em
..I wish that you would stay in my memories
D
But you show up today just to ruin things
C Bm
I wanna put you in the past 'cause I'm traumatized
Am D
But you're not lettin' me do that, 'cause tonight
G D/F#
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
When I say
Bm Am
"I wish that you would stay in my memories"
D
In my memories, stay in my memories
[Verse 2]
G D/F#
Now I can't say "Goodbye"
Em
if you stay here the whole night
D C Bm
You see, it's hard to find an end to somethin' that you keep beginning
Over and over again
Am D
I promise that the ending always stays the same
G D/F# Em D
So there's no good reason in make believin' that we could ever exist again
[Pre-Chorus]
C
I can't be your friend, can't be your lover
Bm Am
Can't be the reason we hold back each other from falling in love
D
With somebody other than me
[Chorus]
G D/F# Em
..I wish that you would stay in my memories
D
But you show up today just to ruin things
C Bm
I wanna put you in the past 'cause I'm traumatized
Am D
But you're not lettin' me do that, 'cause tonight
G D/F#
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
When I say
Bm Am
"I wish that you would stay in my memories"
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 boots and your coat
Em D
And that one good cologne
Bm C
That you bought when we were fighting
G D/F# Em D
'Cause you steal all my clothes, everything that I own
Bm C
And it makes me feel like dying
Bm C C
I was barely just surviving
[Chorus]
G D/F# Em
..I wish that you would stay in my memories
D
But you show up today just to ruin things
C Bm
I wanna put you in the past 'cause I'm traumatized
Am D
But you're not lettin' me do that, 'cause tonight
G D/F#
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
When I say
Bm Am
"I wish that you would stay in my memories"
D C Cm G
In my memories, stay in my memories...........
