Gm                F            Cm             D#
Most of my sweet memories were buried in the sand
Gm                F               F#dim7       Gm
The fire and the pain will now be coming to an end
Gm               F                    Cm
How did you get to save me from this desolate
     D#
wasteland
Gm              F              F#dim7         Gm
In your eyes I see the dawn of brighter days again.

With my tears, you washed away the muck stuck
on my hands
All these things you're trying to do make me
a better man
Now I remember the joy and the taste of candy cane
The innocence of youth and the sound of major scales

Chorus:
Gm             F/A            A#              D#
Most of what I used to be had vanished in the waves
   Gm/D            C#dim
The memories of the boy
                 Dsus4           D7
I've been were drowning and you saved them
Gm         F/A                 A#              D#
Now I remember the joy and the meaning of the fate
    Gm/D          C#dim        Dsus4           D7
The color of the truth and the sound of sunny days.

Most of my sweet memories were buried in the sand
The fire and the pain will now be coming to an end
How did you get to save me from this desolate
wasteland?
In your eyes I see the dawn of brighter days again
