Verse 1:

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





Chorus:

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





Interlude: D--G--Bm--G-A

Verse 2:

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?





(Repeat Chorus)





Interlude: D--G--Bm--G-A





Outro:

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--G--G(hold)

i'm takin them all back
