i just came home to count the memories Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I s[F]aw [C]ros[F]es chokin[C]g in the grass,
[F]flaking paint, a broken window [C]pane[Am][C]
A mailbox barely [Em]standing by [Am]the drive
way I [C]can almost see [G]the name
[Em]A sw[F]ing set and forgotten toys where little
boys and girls played happy [C]games
Everything I gave a damn about is [G]gone,
but all the memories still [C]re main
The old man from the house across the [F]street asked,
how's it going, and I [C]said, fine
But the expression on his [Em]face would make
me [Am]think he could [C]almost read [G]my mind
[Em]That
[F]Johnson boy from down the road was askin'
if the kids could come [C]an d play
Lord, wish I could have told him yes
But [G]I just said, I guess, son, n[C]ot today
I just came home to count the [F]memories
[G]That I've been countin' in my [C]mind
I just came home [Em]to count the [F]memories
[G]From a better day and [C]time[F]
The [C]birds that sing a pretty song
Aren't [F]singing like they did
when you [C]were here
Cause there's no happiness in [Em]mu sic if
some[Am]body isn't [C]close enough to [G]care
[Em]I pi[F]cked a ragged daisy from its
home out in the corner of the [C]yard
She loves me, she loves me not,
now [G]I don't have to wonder anym[C]ore
I just came home to count the [F]memories
[G]that I've been counting in my [C]mind
I just came home to [Em]count the [F]memories I
[G]guess it's time to say goodbye[C]
[F][C]
