I Just Came Home To Count The Memories Acordes

	  
Intro: C F C 

C 
I saw roses choking in the grass 
F                                 C 
Flaking paint and a broken window pane 
                                 Am 
A mailbox barely standing by the driveway 
                     G7 
I can almost see the name 
   
  F 
A swing set and forgotten toys where 
                                   C 
Little boys and girls played happy games 
                                  G7 
Everything I gave a damn about is gone 
                     C 
But the memory still remains 
  
                                      F 
The old man from the house across the street asked 
                          C 
How's it going and I said fine 
                                         Am 
The expression on his face would make me think 
                        G7 
He could almost read my mind 
  
     F 
That Johnson boy from down the road was asking 
                           C 
If the kids could come and play 
                                         G7 
Lord I wish I could have told him yes but I 
                          C 
Just said I guess son not today 
  
                    C7        F 
I just came home to count the memories 
G7                            C 
That I've been counting in my mind 
                              F 
I just came home to count the memories 
G7                    C 
From a better day and time 
  
        
Birds that sang their pretty songs 
F                                          C 
Aren't singing like they did when you were here 
                                       Am 
Cause there's no happiness in music if somebody 
                      G7 
Isn't close enough to care 
  
  F 
I picked a ragged daisy from it's home 
                         C 
Out in the corner of the yard 
                              G7 
She loves me she loves me not now I don't 
                  C 
Have to wonder anymore 
  
              C7        F 
I just came home to count the memories 
G7                            C 
That I've been counting in my mind 
                              F 
I just came home to count the memories  
G7                       C 
I guess it's time to say goodbye
