      G                                 D 
I was going through the closet, back in my old home 
         C                       D 
Found my lettermans jacket, so I slipped it on 
G                         D 
Deep in the pocket, still folded up tight 
        C                    D 
Was the letter you wrote, to tell me goodbye 
    G                  D 
The minute I saw it, I just had to smile 
   C                            D 
It smelled like old leather, as smooth as a child 
  G                       D  
I took a deep breath, and put it away 
          C                               D 
There was no need to read it, I knew just what it would say 
 
G 
I know the words by heart 
       D 
I know every line 
     C 
>From this ain't easy 
          D 
To you'll get along just fine 
G                         D 
I know every comma, every question mark 
     C 
No I don't have to look 
                 D  G 
I know the words by heart
 
 
{End Chorus} 
 
G                       D  
Scenes like old movies, flash through my head 
    C                    D 
The homecoming game, the night on my bed 
    G                           D 
The words that you wrote, still cut me in two 
        C                         D 
How you said you still cared, but that we were through 
 
{Repeat Chorus} 
 
{Bridge} 
 
Em                   C 
Ain't it funny how a memory 
G                       D 
Can play tricks on your mind 
        Em                       C 
I don't remember a thing from my classes 
          G         C     D 
But I can quote you every line 
 
{End bridge} 
 
  G                       D 
I took off my jacket, and put it away 
          C                          D 
With your note in the pocket, like I found it that day 
G                      D  
Poured me a beer, then pictured your face 
            C                            D  
And drank a silent toast, to things that time can't erase 
 
{Repeat Chorus X2}
