I Don't Want To Be A Memory
Recorded by Lee Greenwood
Written by James Pennington and Sonny Lemaire

C
I've been the one you talked to
     F
When things were on your mind
  G7
I tried to be a friend to you
     F                    C
When friends were hard to find


Even been your lover
    F
And gave myself to you
    Dm
But now you're asking something
  G7               C
I just don't wanna do

        F          C
I don't wanna be a memory
G7                     C
Someone you just leave behind
     F
I've always tried to be 
     C                F
Everything you'd ever need
Dm            G7       C
I don't wanna be a memory


I've given you the freedom
         F
When you felt the need to fly
      G7
And a shoulder you can lean on
  F                     C
A place where you could cry


Our time is meant so much
     F
It's more than I can face
   Dm
To think that I could somehow
G7             C
Be someone you replace

Repeat #3 x2
