Yorick van Norden – Only By Memory chords

[Intro]
Em

[Verse 1]
EmSilently hoping, desperately coping
     F#7With all her love in vain
    C            Am6/C        B7Her nails to the knot in her heart
       Baug          Em   Am  EmTo the ball and the chain

[Verse 2]
EmLaughter invites her and pleasure incites her
     F#7But still she feels no pain
          C           Am6/CThen the foul-mouthed angel
     B7      Baug           Em   Am  EmHe calls her by her maiden name

[Chorus]
A6Oh
        G6/AOnly by memory
Bm7Everything passes and everything changes
C                          B7Black and white fade into grey
A6Oh
        G6/AOnly by memory
Bm7This old world turning, longing and yearning
     C                         B7She hopes that it won’t turn away
N.C.Oh please let her stay

[Break]
Em   F#7   C Am6/C  B7 Baug  Em  Am  Em

[Verse 3]
EmShadows returning, the fire’s still burning
     F#7It shines so bright a light
        C              Am6/CIn the eye of the hurricane
     B7                      Em   Am  EmThat patiently witnessed the night

[Verse 4]
EmAnger and shame that she cannot explain
          F#7They are ready for the fight
         C          Am6/CBut I’m closing the book
     B7          Baug        Em    Am   EmOn a page that I never will write, right, write

[Chorus]
A6Oh
        G6/AOnly by memory
Bm7Everything passes and everything changes
C                          B7Black and white fade into grey
A6Oh
        G6/AOnly by memory
Bm7This old world turning, longing and yearning
     C                         B7She hopes that it won’t turn away
n.c.               EmOh please let her stay

[Break]
