Em Bm Em G C G D Em Kids are scratching up the walk Bm Across the street and down the block C D I wish you'd stuck around to watch the night fall Em Smack your hands against the wall Bm Louise Bogan and Robert Frost C D Popped off the shelf when you went through the door, singing C Years from today G When your name is just a name C And my love is a couple candles G D Twinkling on your cake Em Bm That burn won't hurt you any more C D But I'll still keep your picture lying in a drawer Em Bm C D Em Kids are scratching up the walk Bm C Four letter words in rainbow colored chalk D Sweep the dust under the rug C Oh if only we could talk C Years away G When your name is just a name C You'll be countin' up your pennies G D Till I'm laughin in my grave C Years away G When your name is just a name C And my love is a couple candles G D Twinkling on your cake Em Bm Em Bm That burn won't hurt you any more Am D But I'll still keep your picture Am D Lying in a drawer Em Bm Em Bm Am D Am D G When I was a boy I could laugh at it, laugh at it C Now I wonder how I got that hold on me, hold on me G C When I was a boy I could laugh at it, laugh at it G When I was a boy I could laugh at it, laugh at it C
