        G
You've got pictures in frames
        C
You've got voices and names
        G
You've got rust on the bike
             D
You used to ride when you were young

You've got letters in a box
And you've got holes in your socks
You've got the taste of your first kiss
Still sitting on your tongue

         C                   G
And you realize all of the stories you tell
      D               G
Are from those glory days
           C                          G
And your friends they check in every now and again
      C             D
On Christmases and birthdays

           C                  G
But you remember a time that nobody cared
      Em         D        G
About danger or consequences
    C                         G
And everyone vowed that they wouldn't end up
   C                 D
Behind white picket fences

And though nobody sings them anymore
You remember the songs that you sung
Now all of the people you loved are dying
From a blackness of the lung
