Verse 1:
[D] It was the first snow of the [G]season
I can almost see you [Bm]breathing
in the middle of that [A]empty street
[D] Sometimes I still see my[G]self
in that lonesome bedroom[Bm] Playing my guitar
and singing [A]songs of hope for a better future

Chorus:
[Em] Life [F#m]is On[G]ly As good as the memories we [Bm]make
And i'm taking [A]back what belongs to me
[Em]Polaroids of [F#m]classrooms unat[G]tended
These relics of re[Bm]memberence
are just like [A]shipwrecks
Only they're [Em]gone faster than
the s[G]mell af[D]ter it rains

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

Verse 2:
[D] Last night while everyone was s[G]leeping
I drove through my old [Bm]neighborhood
And resurrected [A]memories from ashes
[D] We said that we would never [G]fit in
When we were really [Bm]just like them
Does rebellion [A]ever make a difference?

(Repeat Chorus)

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

Outro:
[D] So long As[A/C#]toria I [Bm]found a
map to buried treasure
And [Em]even if we come home
empty [A]handed we'll still have our
s[D]tories of [A/C#]battle scars
[Bm]pirate ships and [A]wounded hearts
[Em]Broken bones and all
the best of [A]friendships
And when this [D]hourglass has
[A/C#]filtered out its [Bm]final grain of sand
I [Em]raise my glass to the memories we [A]had
[D]This is my wish[A/C#] and I'm takin [Bm]back
A G--G--G(hold)
i'm takin them all back
