[G] [D]
I saw roses choking in the grass, [C] flaking paint, a [G] broken window pane
A mailbox barely standing [Em] by the driveway, I [D] can almost read the name
[D] [C] A swing set and forgotten toys where little girls and boys played happy [G] games
[Bm] [G] Everything I ever cared about [D] is gone, but all our memories [G] still remain
I just came home to [C] count the memories [D] that I've been counting in [Gb] my [G] mind
[Em] I just [D] came home to [C] count the memories [Am] [D] from a better day [G] in time
The old man from a house across [C] the street asked, how's it going?
[G] And I said fine, but the expression on [Gbm] his face would [Em] make me think
That he could almost [D] read my mind
That [C] Johnson boy from down the road was asking if the kids could [G] come and play
[Bm] [G] Lord I wish I could have told him yes, [D] but I just said, I guess son [G] not today
I just came home to [C] count the memories [D] that I've been counting in [Gb] my [G]
mind
[Em] I just came home to [C] count the memories [Am] from a better [G] day in time
[Ab] Words that sang a pretty [Db] song aren't singing like they did [Ab] when we were here
Cause there's no happiness in music [Fm] if somebody isn't close [Bbm] enough to care
I [Eb] [Db] picked a ragged daisy [Bbm] from its home out in the corner [Cm] of the yard
[Fm] [Ab] She loves me, she loves [Eb] me not, now I don't have to wonder [Ab] anymore
I just came home to [Db] count the memories [Eb] that I've been counting [Fm] in my mind
I just came home [Db] to count the memories, [Bbm] I guess it's time to [Ab] say goodbye
I saw roses choking in the grass, [C] flaking paint, a [G] broken window pane
A mailbox barely standing [Em] by the driveway, I [D] can almost read the name
[D] [C] A swing set and forgotten toys where little girls and boys played happy [G] games
[Bm] [G] Everything I ever cared about [D] is gone, but all our memories [G] still remain
I just came home to [C] count the memories [D] that I've been counting in [Gb] my [G] mind
[Em] I just [D] came home to [C] count the memories [Am] [D] from a better day [G] in time

I just came home to [Db] count the memories [Eb] that I've been counting [Fm] in my mind
I just came home [Db] to count the memories, [Bbm] I guess it's time to [Ab] say goodbye
