E I need a family to drive me crazy C#m Call me out when I'm low and lazy E It won't be perfect, but we'll be fine C#m A Cause I've got your back, and you've got mine E You got mine We'll have tiny boxes for memories Open them up and we'll set them free There'll be bad days and some hard times But I'll keep your secrets, if you keep mine Chorus: E You are the memory that won't ever lapse C#m When twenty five years have suddenly past A Wherever you take me it's clear I will go C#m A E Your love's the one love that I need to know C#m A E Your love's the one love that I need to know Take my picture and then you laugh 'Cause I hate the way I look in photographs Keep your memories, but don't live the past I'm looking forward to the best days we will have Chorus: You are the memory that won't ever lapse When twenty-five years have suddenly passed Wherever you take me, it's clear I will go Your love's the one love that I need to know You are the sun in the desolate sky And your life's in these words and it can't be denied Wherever you take me, it's clear I will go Your love's the one love that I need to know Your love's the one love that I need to know C#m You can cry away all your complicated memories E That keep you up so many nights C#m And darling save your apologies A Cause I know that you're scared, E but I swear you'll be alright C#m I swear you're alright E You're alright When the answers escape us, when we start to fade Remember who loved you and the ones who have stayed 'Cause my body will fail, but my soul will go on So don't you get lonely, I'm right where you are Chorus: You are the memory that won't ever lapse When twenty-five years have suddenly passed Wherever you take me, it's clear I will go Your love's the one love that I need to know You are the sun in the desolate sky And your life's in these words and it can't be denied Wherever you take me, it's clear I will go Your love's the one love that I need to know Your love's the one love that I need to know You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C#m  E  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
