🎶 Gingerbread House

Capo 1



I fell for you like[Db] snow, on the trees
On the night we walked alone [D#], at seventeen
And my cheeks were colored rose[A#],
But it wasn’t from the cold[Cb],it was the way you looked at me[Db]

But feelings fade[D#], and your eyes don't say[A#]
I [Db]love you like the way they did before[Cb]
And the home we made[D#], somehow became[A#]
Just bits[Db] and broken pieces on the floor[Cb]

[Db]‘Cause we built a gingerbread house, four walls of sugar and flour[D#]
Built up to watch it fall down, gumdrops and tears on the ground[Bb]
So sad it goes so fast but candy hearts weren’t made to last
I guess[Cb] it’s just gingerbread, a gingerbread house[Db]

I guess I didn’t know[Db], what you meant to me
‘Til I was all alone[D#], putting up the tree
But the lights don’t seem to glow[A#], the way they did before[Cb]
When you were next to me[Db]

‘Cause feelings fade[D#], and I can’t say[A#]
I [Db]love you like the way I did before[Cb]
And the home we made[D#], somehow became[A#]
Just bits [Db] and broken pieces on the floor[Cb]

[Db]‘Cause we built a gingerbread house, four walls of sugar and flour[D#]
Built up to watch it fall down, gumdrops and tears on the ground[Bb]
So sad it goes so fast but candy hearts weren’t made to last
I guess[Cb] it’s just gingerbread

[Db]10 months I thought we were fine, lost in the time of our lives[D#]
So high the Fourth of July, the seasons change and so did your mind[Bb]
So sad it goes so fast but candy hearts weren’t made to last
I guess[Cb] it’s just gingerbread[Cb], a gingerbread house

Instrumental:
[Db][D#][Bb][Dsus4][Cb]

[Db]‘Cause we built a gingerbread house, four walls of sugar and flour[D#]

So sad it goes so fast but candy hearts weren’t made to last
I guess[Cb] it’s just gingerbread, a gingerbread house[Db]⠀
