Intro: C5 F5 G5 x2

Verse:

C5
The checkered floor was checkered no more
F5                                G5
They tore out the floors and the ceiling
C5
And the place has a stale smell of old memories
F5                                  G5
And the fixtures are there for the stealing

Chorus:

A5                         F5
But who wants to buy these memories now
       C5                           G5
With a sweetness like candy that's cotton
A5                         F5
Who wants yesterday's news today
     C5           G5
Gone once, gone twice
     C5
Gone forgotten

C5 F5 G5 x2

There's a dirty old mattress full of stains and burns
And each one tells a story
And it's been through bed-wetting and a couple of weddings
Through nightmares and wet dreams of glory

But who wants to buy these memories now
With a sweetness like candy that's cotton
Who wants yesterday's news today
Gone once, gone twice

     C5
Gone forgotten
     F5      G5
Gone forgotten
     C5
Gone forgotten
     F5      G5

I gotta walk away from these dirty old shoes
They've been in too many places
But I'm hung out to dry by my laces

But who wants to buy these memories now
With a sweetness like candy that's cotton
Who wants yesterday's news today
Gone once, gone twice
G5                      C5
Gone, gone, gone, gone forgotten

Outro:

C5    F5      G5
Gone forgotten
     C5
Gone forgotten
