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
