[Verse 1]
AFM7/Et noon they rang the bell
AmWe kissed but couldn't tell
CBehind that old creaking Gswing
TFM7/Ehen we saddled on that ply

CMake airplane sounds pretending Gwe had wings

But you didn't Fknow
To let goAm  
From way up Chigh
Before it slowed Gdown
And the taste of snFow
And her Amglow
Cause thCese are the things that
    GMake a memory a home
[Verse 2]
Hiding loFM7/Eve posts in the cracks
And she woulAmd always turn her back
Make faces aCnd never let it showG  
Lay on thFM7/Ee rooftop watch the clouds
Roll off the hAmill top as we vowed
To keep Clove even as we Ggrow
[Chorus]

FM7/E

Capo

5th fret

[Intro]

FM7/E FM7/E

[Verse 1]

FM7/E

At noon they rang the bell

We kissed but couldn't tell

C G

Behind that old creaking swing

FM7/E

Then we saddled on that ply

And swung up way too high

C G

Make airplane sounds pretending we had wings

[Chorus]

But you didn't know

To let go

From way up high

Before it slowed down

And the taste of snow

And her glow

Cause these are the things that

Make a memory a home

[Verse 2]

FM7/E

Hiding love posts in the cracks

And she would always turn her back

C G

Make faces and never let it show

FM7/E

Lay on the rooftop watch the clouds

Roll off the hill top as we vowed

C G

To keep love even as we grow

[Chorus]

But you didn't know

To let go

From way up high

Before it slowed down

And the taste of snow

And her glow

Cause these are the things that

Make a memory a home

[Bridge]

And I still don't know

How to let go

Of that swing

buried in my soul

And the taste of snow

And her glow

Cause these are the things that

G F Am

Make a memory a home

C G

I still don't know

[Verse 3]

FM7/E

I remember when she cried

When I came to say goodbye

Blamed my parents

For moving out of town

FM7/E

We carved initials on a lock

Placed it underneath a rock

By the swingset

Buried in the ground

[Chorus]

And I still don't know

How to let go

Of that swing

buried in my soul

And the taste of snow

And her glow

Cause these are the things that

G F Am

Make a memory a home

C G

I still don't know

[Outro]

And the taste of snow

And her glow

Cause these are the things that

Make a memory a home
