Tom: A
E A
The lights go out each evening at eleven
E A
And up and down our block there's not a sound
E A
I close my eyes and search for peaceful slumber
D E A
And just then the local memory comes around
D
Piles of blues against the door
A
To make sure sleep will come no more
A E
She's the hardest working memory in this town
D
Turns out happiness again
A
And then lets loneliness back in
D E A
And each night the local memory comes around
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
E A
Each day I say tonight I may escape her
E A
I pretend I'm happy and never even a frown
E A
But at night I close my eyes and pray sleep finds me
D E A
But again the local memory comes around
D
Rids the house of all good news
A
Then sets out my crying shoes
A E
What a faithful memory never lets me down
D
We're both up till light of day
A
Chasing happiness away
D E A
And each night the local memory comes around
D E A
And each night the local memory comes around
