Verse 1: DG It was the first snow of the season Bm I can almost see you breathing A in the middle of that empty street DG Sometimes I still see myself Bm in that lonesome bedroom Playing my guitar A and singing songs of hope for a better future
Chorus: EmF#mGBm Life is Only As good as the memories we make A And i'm taking back what belongs to me EmF#mG Polaroids of classrooms unattended Bm These relics of rememberence A are just like shipwrecks Em Only they're gone faster than GD the smell after it rains
Verse 2: DG Last night while everyone was sleeping Bm I drove through my old neighborhood A And resurrected memories from ashes DG We said that we would never fit in Bm When we were really just like them A Does rebellion ever make a difference?
(Repeat Chorus)
Interlude: D--A/C#--Bm--G-A
Outro: DA/C#Bm So long Astoria I found a map to buried treasure Em And even if we come home A empty handed we'll still have our DA/C# stories of battle scars BmA pirate ships and wounded hearts Em Broken bones and all A the best of friendships D And when this hourglass has A/C#Bm filtered out its final grain of sand EmA I raise my glass to the memories we had DA/C#Bm This is my wish and I'm takin back AG--G--G(hold) i'm takin them all back
