Verse 1:
               Ab
I fell for you like snow, on the trees
                       Fm
On the night we walked alone, at seventeen
                            Db
And my cheeks were colored rose
                        Eb                                 Ab
But it wasn't from the cold, it was the way you looked at me

Pre-Chorus:
              Fm                        Db
But feelings fade, and your eyes don't say
    Ab                                 Eb
"I love you" like the way they did before
                 Fm              Db
And the home we made, somehow became
      Ab                             Eb
Just bits and broken pieces on the floor

Chorus:
Ab                                                               Fm
Cause we built a gingerbread house, four walls, sugar and flour
                                                                 Bbm
Built up to watch it fall down, gumdrops and tears on the ground

So sad it goes so fast but candy hearts weren't made to last
  Eb                     Eb                          Ab
I guess it's just gingerbread, a gingerbread house

Verse 2:
                 Ab
I guess I didn't know, what you meant to me
                 Fm
Till I was all alone, putting up the tree
                              Db                        Eb
But the lights don't seem to glow, the way they did before
                      Ab
When you were next to me

Pre-Chorus:
                Fm                Db
Cause feelings fade, and I can't say
    Ab                              Eb
"I love you" like the way I did before
                 Fm              Db
And the home we made, somehow became
      Ab                             Eb
Just bits and broken pieces on the floor

Chorus:
Ab                                                               Fm
Cause we built a gingerbread house, four walls, sugar and flour
                                                                 Bbm
Built up to watch it fall down, gumdrops and tears on the ground

So sad it goes so fast but candy hearts weren't made to last
  Eb                     Eb

Ab                                                                Fm
Ten months I thought we were fine, lost in the time of our lives
                                                                   Bbm
So high the fourth of July, the seasons change and so do your mind

So sad it goes so fast but candy hearts weren't made to last
   Eb                    Eb
I guess it's just gingerbread, a gingerbread house
