Verse 1:

D                              G
  It was the first snow of the season

                     Bm
I can almost see you breathing

                      A
in the middle of that empty street

D                         G
  Sometimes I still see myself

                        Bm
in that lonesome bedroom Playing my guitar

            A
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

               A
And i'm taking back what belongs to me

Em           F#m            G
Polaroids of classrooms unattended

                  Bm
These relics of rememberence

              A
are just like shipwrecks

             Em
Only they're gone faster than

     G      D
the smell after it rains

Interlude: D--G--Bm--G-A

Verse 2:

D                                G
  Last night while everyone was sleeping

                       Bm
I drove through my old neighborhood

                A
And resurrected memories from ashes

D                             G
  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:

D           A/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

 D         A/C#
stories of battle scars

Bm               A
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

  Em                                A
I raise my glass to the memories we had

D              A/C#           Bm
This is my wish and I'm takin back

    A              G--G--G(hold)
i'm takin them all back
