Memories — Conan Gray

[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………..
