[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
{Break]
Em Bm C D
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
(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

Lying in a drawer

[Outro]
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
