/ = Slide up

[Verse 1]
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                                      B   A
   Cause I've got your back, and you've got mine
     B   E
You got mine

[Verse 2]
E
 We'll have tiny boxes for memories
C#m
   Open them up and we'll set them free
E
 There'll be bad days and some hard times
C#m                                B    A
   But I'll keep your secrets, if you'll 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

[Verse 3]
E
 Take my picture and then you laugh cause I
C#m
   hate the way I look in photographs
E
 Keep your memories, but don't leave the past
C#m                                  B         A
   I'm looking forward, to the best days we'll have

[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
E
You are the sun in the desolate sky
     C#m
your life's in these words and it can't be denied
    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

[Bridge]
       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

[Final-Chorus 1]
      E
When the answers escape us when we start to fade
   C#m
Remember who loved you and the ones who have stayed
          A
Cause my body will fail, but my soul will go on
   C#m
So don't get lonely
     A              E
I'm right where you are

[Final-Chorus 2]
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
E
You are the sun in the desolate sky
         C#m
Your life's in these words and it can't be denied
    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
