I fell for you like[G] snow, on the trees
On the night we walked alone [Em], at seventeen
And my cheeks were colored rose[C],
But it wasn’t from the cold[D],it was the way you looked at me[G]
But feelings fade[Em], and your eyes don't say[C]
I [G]love you like the way they did before[D]
And the home we made[Em], somehow became[C]
Just bits[G] and broken pieces on the floor[D]
[G]‘Cause we built a gingerbread house, four walls of sugar and flour[Em]
Built up to watch it fall down, gumdrops and tears on the ground[Am]
So sad it goes so fast but candy hearts weren’t made to last
I guess[D] it’s just gingerbread, a gingerbread house[G]
I guess I didn’t know[G], what you meant to me
‘Til I was all alone[Em], putting up the tree
But the lights don’t seem to glow[C], the way they did before[D]
When you were next to me[G]
‘Cause feelings fade[Em], and I can’t say[C]
I [G]love you like the way I did before[D]
And the home we made[Em], somehow became[C]
Just bits [G] and broken pieces on the floor[D]
[G]‘Cause we built a gingerbread house, four walls of sugar and flour[Em]
Built up to watch it fall down, gumdrops and tears on the ground[Am]
So sad it goes so fast but candy hearts weren’t made to last
I guess[D] it’s just gingerbread
[G]10 months I thought we were fine, lost in the time of our lives[Em]
So high the Fourth of July, the seasons change and so did your mind[Am]
So sad it goes so fast but candy hearts weren’t made to last
I guess[D] it’s just gingerbread[D], a gingerbread house
