VERSE:
 F#m                           A
Their's paper peeling off the walls
D                           A
I see the paint from yesteryear

F#m                     Bm
 We try to cover up the past
 D                     A
But tiny secrets still appear

Even after all this time.

VERSE:
F#m                                A
The kitchen floor is a checkered board
 D                     A
We've tried an escape for years

F#m                               Bm
The tiles are cracked and colors changed
 D                            A
The battleground is all but cleared


CHORUS:
     A                       D

Memories linger in these rooms

 D          E
Under the floorbards
          F#m           D
Sweeping stories we outgrew
  D   
Ooooh oooooh ooh


VERSE:
F#m                            A
    Its not a place to call a home
 D                            A
Just a place we've been for years

     F#m                   Bm
The garden weeds have overgrown
  D                            A
We've over stayed our welcome here


CHORUS:
    F#m                      D
So please don't say it gets better,
