As recorded by Cody Jinks (From the 2025 Album IN MY BLOOD) [Intro] G D A G D A [Verse 1]
       G
It was tractors and combines

D
Freezin' in deer blinds

A
Sunburns from sittin'

A
All day in the boat

       G
It was mud tires on my truck

D
"Son, make your own luck"

A
"Yes, ma'am" and "No, ma'am"

A
Do what she told you
[Verse 2]
        G
It was "Boy, take your best shot

     D
Good name's all that you've got

A
Take care of your sister

A
The best you know how"

        G
It was "Stand on your own feet

D
Give God the glory"

A
That's what you taught me

A
So I'll tell you now
[Chorus]
                 Em
When you can't remember

                   G
When you can't put names with the faces

D
Remember the places

        A
Why you stand where you do

                 Em
When you can't remember

              G
I'll tell you we broke the cycle

D
We stayed together

         A
Like you prayed that we would

         Em                          G
No, they don't make heroes like they used to

                 D
When you can't remember
[Verse 3]
       G
It was barrooms and guitars

D
Dreamin' on big stars

A
Payin' those dues

A
'Cause that's what we do

       G
It was marriage and babies

D
"Son, that's your lady

A
You love that girl

A
And cherish those children"
[Verse 4]
         G                             D
Now it's grandkids and, "Son, when you think we'll go fishin'?"

         A
How'd it become the "Cat's in the Cradle" so soon?

    G                      D
And all of these beautiful memories I cherish

   A
Is my way of saying, "Dad, I love you"
[Chorus]
                 Em
When you can't remember

                   G
When you can't put names with the faces

D
Remember the places

        A
Why you stand where you do

                 Em
When you can't remember

              G
I'll tell you we broke the cycle

D
We stayed together

         A
Like you prayed that we would
[Instrumental Break] G D A G D A [Chorus]
                 Em
When you can't remember

                   G
When you can't put names with the faces

            D
You can't remember the places

        A               Em
Why you stand where you do

                 Em
When you can't remember

              G
I'll tell you we broke the cycle

D

I'll tell you we broke the cycle

      D
Yeah, we stayed together

         A              D
Like you prayed that we would

         Em                          G
No, they don't make heroes like they used to

      Em                        G
Every hero's gonna have their December

                 D
When you can't remember

                       A  D
When you can't remember
