Sometimes a Memory Ain't Enough

Jerry Lee Lewis


Tom: G

G                       C
I have your pictures to look at 
      G                             D7
And a memory that helps me when I'm blue
  G                              C             G
I play those old records that we used to dance to
                       D7                G
But these things can't take the place of you
 
                         C
I need real live arms to hold me 
G                               D7
Warm and tender lips that I can touch  yes I do
G                       C
I play my game but it's not the same 
G                   D7         G
Sometimes a memory  just ain't enough
 
                                    C
The thoughts of you help me keep my mind together
    G                                  D7
And though it doesn't always help it's true
  G                                          C
Remembering darling that one time you really loved me
   G                 D7             G
It helps to ease the pain of losing you
