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

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

( D  G  Bm  G  A )

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?

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

( D  A/C#  Bm  G  A )

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
I'm takin them all back
