Em             D                 G     F#m
Spent a lot of time playing the field
Bm         Bm/A                  G     D
Thinkin' I knew all there was to know
Em          D                  C
But I never knew that love was real
C      D                    G
Till I watched you come and go
             Am
There's been so many women by my side
Bm                      Am
Most of them just came along for the ride
Bm                Am 
They all left and I never cried
D            G        C  G
I think I'm about to

[Chorus]
                     C 
I can't let you be a memory
                        G 
You just can't remain a used to be
                    D
I would rather be a fool for you
                     G
I'll do anything you want me to
                          C
Girl you let me take your heart and run
                         G
Never knowing you're the only One
                          D
But I can't let you slip away from me
F        C           G
I can't let you be a memory

             Am
There's been so many scars on this ol' heart
Bm                     Am
Piece by piece they've torn it apart
    Bm                      Am
But girl what's left you've had from the start
D                      G    C  G
They couldn't take it away

[Chorus]
                     C 
I can't let you be a memory
                        G 
You just can't remain a used to be
                    D
I would rather be a fool for you
                     G
I'll do anything you want me to
                          C
Girl you let me take your heart and run
                         G
Never knowing you're the only One
                          D
But I can't let you slip away from me
F        C           G
I can't let you be a memory
