Intro: G - D - C

(verse 1)
      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                                 D
I know the words by heart, I know every line
    C                           D
From this ain't easy, To you'll get along just fine
G                         D
I know every comma, every question mark
     C                                    D  G
No I don't have to look, I know the words by heart


(verse 2)

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


(chorus)
I know the words by heart, I know every line
From this ain't easy, To you'll get along just fine
I know every comma, every question mark
No I don't have to look, I know the words by heart

(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



(verse 3)

  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

(chorus)
I know the words by heart, I know every line
From this ain't easy, To you'll get along just fine
I know every comma, every question mark
No I don't have to look, I know the words by heart 

I know the words by heart, I know every line
From this ain't easy, To you'll get along just fine
I know every comma, every question mark
No I don't have to look, I know the words by heart
