A Great Memory

John Michael Montgomery


I'm not one to take chances 
(A) I've always played it safe 
But (B7) girl I've been out on a limb 
Since I saw your smiling (E) face 
I feel like I'm walking a tightrope 
When (A) I'm out walking with you 
(B7) It's a dangerous liason 
I've got my heart in(E)to 

'Cause we're not a (E) sure thing 
Too soon to (E7) tell if we're the (A) real thing 
But this (B7) time it's worth taking a chance 
On you and (E) me 
But if doesn't work out 
Should you dec(E7)ide to (A) walk out 
Well that's all right with (F#m) me 
'Cause girl I know you'd (B7) be 
A great (E) memory 

(E) Some folks would die for this moment 
But (A) I've lived for this moment in time 
The (B7) love you bring may be a fleeting thing 
But oh right now it's (E) mine 
If I should wind up lonely 
Well (A) I won't mind being alone 
'Cause (B7) if it works out that you leave me 
Least I'll have you to look back (E) on 

'Cause we're not a (E) sure thing 
Too soon to (E7) tell if we're the (A) real thing 
But this (B7) time it's worth taking a chance 
On you and (E) me 
But if doesn't work out 
Should you dec(E7)ide to (A) walk out 
Well that's all right with (F#m) me 
'Cause girl I know you'd (B7) be 
A great (E) memory 

Well that's all right with (F#m) me 
'Cause girl I know you'd (B7) be 
A great (E) memory
