TUNING: HALF-STEP DOWN
[Intro]
NONE
[Verse]
Em D G
Backyard dirt in our veins
Em D G
Blood of Christ, Sunday morning clothes
Em D G
We were coming of age
Em D C
In the way, way back of a station wagon, breathing secondhand smoke
Em D G
Ash trays in the kitchen sink
Em D G
Oprah's on the big TV at 4
Em D C
Barbie clothes in a Crown Royal bag
Em D G
Jesus in the living room, Mama's locked her bedroom door
[Chorus]
C G C G
When the way it was wasn't what it seemed
D Em D
Lemonade stand summers, prom king working at the Dairy Queen
C G D Em
All the stars we hung above those small-town trees
C D
Young hearts still unbroken, flies by before you know it
Em D C
If you move on just the way time does
Till something brings you right back
G C
To growing up
G C
Growing up
[Verse]
Em D G
Church field, travel carnival
Em D G
I'll meet you at the Ferris wheel at 10
Em D C
We'll step across that line, just as far as we can go
Em D G
Before it's our turn to see how big the real world is
[Chorus]
C G C G
When the way it was wasn't what it seemed
D Em D
Making out in back seats behind the Dairy Queen
C G D Em
All the stars we hung above those small-town trees
C D
Young hearts trying to out run 'em, promise we don't become 'em
Em D C
Just move on the way time does
Till something brings you right back
G C
To growing up
G C
Growing up
[Break]
D C
Now you're six years sober, taking your mother to her treatments
D C
She says she wants to see the old house one more time
Em D C
And you can't go back any more than she can go back
D
And if you said you didn't miss it, you'd be lying
[Chorus]
C G C G
When the way it was wasn't what it seemed
D G
Maybe you could trasde that freedom back for some of that naive
C G D Em
All the stars we hung above those small-town trees
C D
Maybe they can remind you, I bet they'd recognize you
Em D C
You think you moved on, but no one really does
Em D C
Just like no one tells you it'll be this tough, this tough
[Outro]
