I Just Came Home to Count the Memories Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I s[Asus4]aw[D][Asus4]
[D]roses
choking in the grass [G]flaking paint
In a broken [Em]window [D]pane[Asus4][D]
A mailbox barely [F#m]standin'
by [Bm]the driveway
I can almost read [A]the [Em]name[A]

[Verse 2]
A [G]swing set and for[D]gotten toys
[G]Where little girls and boys played
happy [D]games[Bm]
[D]Everything I ever care
about [A]is gone now
But all the memories still
re[D]main[Asus4]

[Verse 3]
[D]The old man from the house
across [G]the street asked
How's it goin' and I [D]said fine
But the expression on his [F#m]face
would make [Bm]me think
That he could almost read [A]my
[Asus4]mind[A]

[Verse 4]
That little [G]Johnson boy
from down the road
Was asking if the kids could
come and [D]play[Bm]
Lord [D]I wish I could have told them yes
[A]But I just said I guess son not today
[D]

[Verse 5]
I just came home to count the [G]memories
[A]That I've been carrying in my [D]mind
[Am]I just came home[D] to co[G]un
[A]t the memories
Of a better day and [D]time

[Verse 6]
[Asus4]And all the b[D]irds that
sang a pretty song
They aren't [G]singing like they did
when we were [D]here
'Cause there's no happiness in [F#m]music
When some[Bm]body isn't
close enough to [A]care[Em][A]

[Verse 7]
I [G]picked a raged daisy from its home
Out in the corner of [D]the yard[Bm]
[D]She loves me, she loves me not
[A]Now I don't have to wonder any[D]more

[Verse 8]
I just came home to count [G]the
[A]memories
That I've been counting in [D]my mind
[Am]I just came home[D] to coun[G]t the memories
[A]I guess it's time to say good
[D]bye

[Outro 1]
