G
All my friends say that they're happy that I'm moving on

First time that they've seen me smile since you up and gone

Pretty as a picture that you'd hang up on a wall

But she just can't compare to you and it really ain't her fault

I know that I should fall for her
Believe me girl I've tried
G D
But your memory won't let me
[Refrão] G
She's all good, but you're the best I ever had
Em
Tell me how could she ever compete with that

Ocean Boulevard still has my heart
Close my eyes and there we are

You're still the only place that feels like home

Cause your memory won't let me go
C
No your memory won't let me
