G                                C                         G
I saw roses choking in the grass flaking paint in a broken window pane
                 D               Em                         A D
A mailbox barely standin' by the driveway
I can almost read  the name
  C                                                               G         Em
A swing set and forgotten toys where little girls and boys played happy games
     G                           D                         G            D D7
Everything I ever cared about is gone now but the memories still remain

        G                                 C                               G
And the old man from the house across the street asked how's it goin' and I said fine
                      D                  Em                            D     D7
The expression on his face would make me think that he could almost read my mind
     C                                                                    G    Em
That Johnson boy from down the road was asking if the kids could comе and play
        G                              D                           G
Lord
I wish I could have told him yes but I just said I guess son not today


♫ Chorus:
G                             C        D                     G
I just camе home to count the memories I've been counting in my mind
Dm        G       C                 D              G         D
Just came home to count the memories of a better day and time

        G                                        C                          G
All the birds that sang such pretty songs aren't singing like they did when we were here
                              D        Em                    D        D7
Cause there's no happiness in music if somebody isn't close enough to care
     C                                                        G    Em
So I picked arranged daisy from its home in the corner of the yard
   G                          D               D7     G
He loves me, he loves me not
I don't have to wonder anymore


♫ Chorus:
G                             C        D                     G       G7
I just came home to count the memories I've been counting in my mind
                  C                 D              G
Just came home to count the memories of a better day and time
Dm        G7      C                 D                     G          D  G
Just came home to count the memories, guess it's time to say goodbye
