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

Chorus:
Em     F#m  G                             Bm
  Life is Only As good as the memories we make
               A
And i'm taking back what belongs to me
Em           F#m            G
Polaroids of classrooms unattended
                  Bm
These relics of rememberence
              A
are just like shipwrecks
             Em
Only they're gone faster than
     G      D
the smell after it rains


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

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


(Repeat Chorus)


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


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