Intro: C F G x2

Verse:

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

Chorus:

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

C F G 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

     C
Gone forgotten
     F      G
Gone forgotten
     C
Gone forgotten
     F      G

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
G                      C
Gone, gone, gone, gone forgotten

Outro:
