      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}
