The Menzingers – Strain Your Memory chords

[Intro]
D   Bm   x5


[Verse 1]
        DMay the highways cross their fingers and hope
BmThat we may one day find ourselves home
DShe sticks her head outside the passenger window
BmSighs as traffic stops and goes
DIt's been two weeks now living in this southern town
BmWe hoped the change would change our restless minds
DA little rewind to a simpler time
Bm                                           GI swear it's temporary living in this cheap motel
                  ASomewhere in the bible belt
DWe made love at that Marietta Motel 6
BmYou fell asleep on my shoulder of commitment
DTook it as a sign everything would be fine
Bm                                                  GSometimes it takes these kind of nights just to realize
                         AHow we want to spend the rest of our lives


[Chorus]
        D                         GCould a diamond in the rough ever be enough
          AI've been mining for your love
          D                                G              ASince the day that we met I've spent every second in your minefield digging it up
        G                  ACan you strain your memory back to the times
     G                      A             DWhen trouble wasn't always, always on our minds
               BmTrouble wasn't always on our minds
            D                         BmBack to the times when trouble wasn't always on our minds

G   A   x2


[Verse 2]
            DAnd now the hotel maids were bangin' down the door
BmAs if they came looking for some answers
DWhen ya gonna leave? Where ya gonna go?
BmWill you get your shit together?
                         GWhen are you gonna marry her?
                       AWell maybe you don't deserve her
                          GMaybe the whole thing was doomed from the start
                    AThis inquisition is tearing me apart


[Chorus]
        D                         GCould a diamond in the rough ever be enough
          AI've been mining for your love
          D                              G                ASince the day that we met I've spent every second in your minefield digging it up
        G                  ACan you strain your memory back to the times
     G                     AWhen trouble wasn't always on our minds
        G                  ACan you strain your memory one more time
     G                     A              DWhen trouble wasn't always, always on our minds
                    BmWhen trouble wasn't always on our minds
            D                         Bm                    DBack to the times when trouble wasn't always on our minds
