Tom: G 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 G I know the words by heart D I know every line C >From this ain't easy D To you'll get along just fine G D I know every comma, every question mark C No I don't have to look D G I know the words by heart {End Chorus} 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 {Repeat Chorus} {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 {End bridge} 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
