C G7 C

[Verse 1]
C                 G7          C
Your memory has a mind of its own
C                 G7           C    C7
It knows where to go when it's gone
F                              C            F
I think I've lost it, but then it proves me wrong
     C            G7          C   C7
Your memory has a mind of its own

[Chorus]
F                       C
I can't tell it what to do
      G               G7                      C      C7
I can smoke and I can drink until it's out of view
    F                            C
But I can't hold it off it's too strong
                      G7          C
And your memory has a mind of its own

[Verse 2]
C                G7               C
Your memory does what it wants to do
C                    G7            C   C7
It survives though I don't want it to
F                C              F
I do okay when I don't think of you
         C           G7               C   C7
But your memory does what it wants to do

[Bridge]
        F                         C       C7
If your memory had ears they'd be burnin'
        F                         C
If your memory had eyes they'd be cryin'
       F                       C         F
And if it had a heart it would leave me alone
         C            G7          C
But your memory has a mind of its own

[Chorus]
F                       C
I can't tell it what to do
      G               G7                      C      C7
I can smoke and I can drink until it's out of view
    F                            C
But I can't hold it off it's too strong
                      G7          C
And your memory has a mind of its own
