It doesn't pay to try,
D
All the smart boys know why,
D G b
It doesn't mean I didn't try,
D
I just never know why.
D G b
Feel so cold and all alone,
D
Cause baby, you're not at home.
D G b
And when I'm home
D
Big deal, I'm still alone.
Feel so restless, I am,
Beat my head against a pole
Try to knock some sense,
down in my bones.
And even though they don't show,
The scars aren't so old
And when they go,
They let you know
G A D
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
G A D
Don't try, don't try
D G b
You're just a bastard kid,
D
And you got no name
D G b
Cause you're living with me,
D
We're one and the same
And even though they dont show,
They scars aren't so old
And when they go,
They let you know
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try, don't try
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try, don't try
