[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G C G I saw roses choking in the grass flaking paint in a broken window pane D Em A D A mailbox barely standin' by the driveway, I can almost read the name C G Em A swing set and forgotten toys where little girls and boys played happy games G D G D D7 Everything I ever cared about is gone now but the memories still remain
[Verse 2]
G C G And the old man from the house across the street asked how's it goin' and I said fine D Em D D7 The expression on his face would make me think that he could almost read my mind C G Em That Johnson boy from down the road was asking if the kids could comе and play G D G Lord, I wish I could have told him yes but I just said I guess son not today
[Chorus]
G C D G I just camе home to count the memories I've been counting in my mind Dm G C D G D Just came home to count the memories of a better day and time
[Verse 3]
G C G All the birds that sang such pretty songs aren't singing like they did when we were here D Em D D7 Cause there's no happiness in music if somebody isn't close enough to care C G Em So I picked arranged daisy from its home in the corner of the yard G D D7 G He loves me, he loves me not, I don't have to wonder anymore
[Chorus]
G C D G G7 I just came home to count the memories I've been counting in my mind C D G Just came home to count the memories of a better day and time Dm G7 C D G D G Just came home to count the memories, guess it's time to say goodbye
