G                                                   D 
I saw roses choking in the grass, flaking paint and a broken window 
pane. 
The old man from the house across the street asked, ?w?it goin? 
and I said ?ne.?All the birds that sang their pretty songs aren?singing like they did 
when we were here. 
D 
G                                                   A 
A mailbox barely standing by the driveway, I can almost read the name. 
But the expression on his face would make me think, that he could almost 
read my mind. 
?ause there?no happiness in music if somebody isn?close enough to 
here 
G 
D 
A swing-set and forgotten toys where little girls and boys played happy 
games 
That Johnson boy from down the road was askin?f the kids could come 
and play 
I picked a ragged daisy from it?home out in the corner the yard -- 
D 
A                                         D 
Everything I ever cared about is gone now,  but the memory still 
remains. 
Lord I wish I could have told him yes, but I just  said, ?guess no, 
not today.??e loves me - She loves me not,?ow I don?have to wonder anymore. 
 
CHORUS: 
D                                             G 
A                                        D 
I just came home to count the memories, that I? been counting in my 
mind 
                                                  G 
A                                 D 
I just came home to count the memories, ? a better day and time. 
 
(Last time) 
 
?guess it?time to say good-bye.
