C

[Verse 1]
C               G/B            Am
Coming down the highway like a fright
         G                F
Laughing three o’clock at night
         G
With the desert stars above
C       G/B               Am
Singing June and Johnny's songs
         G              F
You felt pretty, I felt strong
    G
And no one called our bluff
    Am         E      F    G
And love was a simple song

[Chorus]
         C    G/B  Am  G  Am
And I'll hold you  all my life
       F             G          C
Like a memory at the back of my mind

[Verse 2]
C       G/B            Am
Summers come and go so fast
           G                 F
Close your eyes the moment's past
     G
And another year is gone
C            G/B            Am
We built our castles in the sand
           G              F
The higher tide had other plans
    G
But I'm still holding on
    Am         E       F    G
And love was a fragile song

[Chorus]
         C    G/B  Am  G  Am
And I'll hold you  all my life
       F             G          C
Like a memory at the back of my mind

[Verse 3]
C       G/B               Am
Darling nothing stays the same
        G              F
We were born without a name
    G
And that’s the way we'll die
C        G/B               Am
But even when the memories fade
        G               F
What we have is still ingrained
     G
It's written down inside
    Am           E        F    G
And love was our timeless song

[Chorus]
         C    G/B  Am  G  Am
And I'll hold you  all my life
       F             G
Like a child asking why
         C    G/B  Am  G  Am
And I'll hold you  all my life
       F             G          C   G/B  Am  G
Like a memory at the back of my mind
       F             G          C
Just a memory at the back of my mind
