Verse 1:

D G

It was the first snow of the season

I can almost see you breathing

in the middle of that empty street

D G

Sometimes I still see myself

in that lonesome bedroom Playing my guitar

and singing songs of hope for a better future

Chorus:

Em F#m G Bm

Life is Only As good as the memories we make

And i'm taking back what belongs to me

Em F#m G

Polaroids of classrooms unattended

These relics of rememberence

are just like shipwrecks

Only they're gone faster than

G D

the smell after it rains

And even if we come home

pirate ships and wounded hearts

Broken bones and all

the best of friendships

And when this hourglass has

A/C# Bm

filtered out its final grain of sand

Em A

I raise my glass to the memories we had

D A/C# Bm

This is my wish and I'm takin back
