Capo
5th fret
[Intro]
FM7/E FM7/E
[Verse 1]
FM7/E
At noon they rang the bell
Am
We kissed but couldn't tell
C G
Behind that old creaking swing
FM7/E
Then we saddled on that ply
Am
And swung up way too high
C G
Make airplane sounds pretending we had wings
[Chorus]
F
But you didn't know
Am
To let go
C
From way up high
G
Before it slowed down
F
And the taste of snow
Am
And her glow
C
Cause these are the things that
G
Make a memory a home
[Verse 2]
FM7/E
Hiding love posts in the cracks
Am
And she would always turn her back
C G
Make faces and never let it show
FM7/E
Lay on the rooftop watch the clouds
Am
Roll off the hill top as we vowed
C G
To keep love even as we grow
[Chorus]
F
But you didn't know
Am
To let go
C
From way up high
G
Before it slowed down
F
And the taste of snow
Am
And her glow
C
Cause these are the things that
G
Make a memory a home
[Bridge]
F
And I still don't know
Am
How to let go
C
Of that swing
G
buried in my soul
F
And the taste of snow
Am
And her glow
C
Cause these are the things that
G F Am
Make a memory a home
C G
I still don't know
[Verse 3]
FM7/E
I remember when she cried
Am
When I came to say goodbye
C
Blamed my parents
G
For moving out of town
FM7/E
We carved initials on a lock
Am
Placed it underneath a rock
C
By the swingset
G
Buried in the ground
[Chorus]
F
And I still don't know
Am
How to let go
C
Of that swing
G
buried in my soul
F
And the taste of snow
Am
And her glow
C
Cause these are the things that
G F Am
Make a memory a home
C G
I still don't know
[Outro]
F
And the taste of snow
Am
And her glow
C
Cause these are the things that
G
Make a memory a home
