Chords with lyrics
Verse 1:
G+G
I fell for you like snow, on the trees
E minorEm
On the night we walked alone, at seventeen
C majorC
And my cheeks were colored rose
D MajorD G+G
But it wasn't from the cold, it was the way you looked at me
Pre-Chorus:
E minorEm C majorC
But feelings fade, and your eyes don't say
G+G D MajorD
"I love you" like the way they did before
E minorEm C majorC
And the home we made, somehow became
G+G D MajorD
Just bits and broken pieces on the floor
Chorus:
G+G E minorEm
Cause we built a gingerbread house, four walls, sugar and flour
A minorAm
Built up to watch it fall down, gumdrops and tears on the ground
So sad it goes so fast but candy hearts weren't made to last
D MajorD D* G+G
I guess it's just gingerbread, a gingerbread house
Verse 2:
G+G
I guess I didn't know, what you meant to me
E minorEm
Till I was all alone, putting up the tree
C majorC D MajorD
But the lights don't seem to glow, the way they did before
G+G
When you were next to me
Pre-Chorus:
E minorEm C majorC
Cause feelings fade, and I can't say
G+G D MajorD
"I love you" like the way I did before
E minorEm C majorC
And the home we made, somehow became
G+G D*
Just bits and broken pieces on the floor
Chorus:
G+G E minorEm

So sad it goes so fast but candy hearts weren't made to last
D MajorD D MajorD
I guess it's just gingerbread
G+G E minorEm
Ten months I thought we were fine, lost in the time of our lives

So high the fourth of July, the seasons change and so do your mind
So sad it goes so fast but candy hearts weren't made to last

I guess it's just gingerbread, a gingerbread house
