C#              F#
Doesn't pay to try
A#m                 C#
All the smart boys know why
C#                     F#
Doesn't mean I didn't try
A#m            C#
I just never know why

It's isn't 'cause I'm all alone
Oh, baby, you're not home
And when I'm home
Big deal, I'm still alone

It's so restless, as I am
Beat my head against a pole
Try to knock some sense
Down inside my bones

And even though it don't show
Those scars aren't so old

Chorus:
               G#            C#   G# F#
Can't put your arms around a memory
Can't put your arms around a memory
Can't put your arms around a memory
       F# G#
Don't try
        C#
Don't try

You're just a bastard kid
And you got no name
Could you live with me?
Go on and say

And even though it don't show
Those scars aren't so old

Chorus

Johnny, you're me, yeah, your memory
I want to put my arms around your memory

I can't try
I can't try
Don't try

Come on
LAMF
Like a mother fucker

Yo, Johnny, what color were her eyes?
Oh, she was wearing shades?
Fuck yeah
