Can't believe I'm back here again

He don't know nothin' 'bout Memphis

How could he ever know, this was our town

Don't want to look him in the eye

Scared he might see what I remember of that night
F
We were dancing on the water
Dm7C
We were singing “Hallelujah” to the stars
GF
And I know that it would hurt him, if he could see my past
GFC
He thinks he's the only one who's touched me like that, but

He don't know nothin' 'bout Memphis
