G
I fell for you like snow, on the trees
                       Em
On the night we walked alone, at seventeen
                            C
And my cheeks were colored rose
                        D                                 G
But it wasn't from the cold, it was the way you looked at me

[Pre-Chorus]
              Em                        C
But feelings fade, and your eyes don't say
    G                                 D
"I love you" like the way they did before
                 Em              C
And the home we made, somehow became
      G                             D
Just bits and broken pieces on the floor

[Chorus]
G                                                               Em
Cause we built a gingerbread house, four walls, sugar and flour
                                                                 Am
Built up to watch it fall down, gumdrops and tears on the ground

So sad it goes so fast but candy hearts weren't made to last
  D                     D*                         G
I guess it's just gingerbread, a gingerbread house

[Verse 2]
                 G
I guess I didn't know, what you meant to me
                 Em
Till I was all alone, putting up the tree
                              C                        D
But the lights don't seem to glow, the way they did before
                      G
When you were next to me

[Pre-Chorus]
                Em                C
Cause feelings fade, and I can't say
    G                              D
"I love you" like the way I did before
                 Em              C
And the home we made, somehow became
      G                             D*
Just bits and broken pieces on the floor

[Chorus]
G                                                               Em
Cause we built a gingerbread house, four walls, sugar and flour
                                                                 Am
Built up to watch it fall down, gumdrops and tears on the ground

So sad it goes so fast but candy hearts weren't made to last
  D                     D
I guess it's just gingerbread

G                                                                Em
Ten months I thought we were fine, lost in the time of our lives
                                                                   Am
So high the fourth of July, the seasons change and so do your mind

So sad it goes so fast but candy hearts weren't made to last
   D                    D
I guess it's just gingerbread, a gingerbread house

[Instrumental]
G    Em    Am    Dsus4  D

[Outro]
G*                                                              Em*
Cause we built a gingerbread house, four walls, sugar and flour
                                                                 Am*
Built up to watch it fall down, gumdrops and tears on the ground

So sad it goes so fast but candy hearts weren't made to last
   D*                    D*
I guess it's just gingerbread
