[Verse 1]
GThis song is for you, you know who you are
Won't embaD7rrass you by callin' out your name.
D7You're here every night, serving up the drinks
Wearin'G your superficial smile.
GYou still wear the wedding band, on your left hard workin' hand
For a G7memory oCf a man who's chained and bound
Lord knowGs you need a man and an understandin' hand
Before yoD7u run cGompletely out of love
[Chorus]
GYou cD7an't stay in love with a memory
D7You can't stay in love with a dream
D7Yet you've fallen in love with a picture on the wall
D7And the sad part isG the picture's not of me
[Verse 2]
GThat cold December day, they took her man away
Never dreaD7min' of the gentle heart they broke
D7Now she waits by the phone, she waits there all alone
But the only one Gwho ever calls is me
GNow I'm a prisoner of a slave to one way love
I wish they'd let him G7go so I'd be Cfree
CBreak these chains that bind and Grelease this heart of mine
Before I run D7completely out of Glove
[Chorus]
GYou cD7an't stay in love with a memory
D7You can't stay in love with a dream
D7Yet you've fallen in love with a picture on the wall
D7And the sad part isG the picture's not of me
