[Intro] G G/F# Em7 D C D G [Verse 1]
      G              G/F#         Em7      D
Round here it's the bills and the lack of jobs

          C         D     G
That dominates our table talks

     G            G/F#    Em7     D
But tonight as I buttered up my bread

       C                  D      G
Momma said, "guess who I saw at Walt's?"

   G        G/F#        Em7       D
I heard her name, and I felt the pain

       C       D      G
Of excitement and regret

G         G/F#  Em7    D
Just like that, in my mind,

       C      D   G
I was twenty-one again
[Pre Chorus]
Am                           D
I wonder if I'm the reason why
[Chorus]
      G      G/F#   Em7
That Becky's back in Birmingham

   C       D     G
I bet she never left

  G                   Em7
I doubt this place is in my heart

     C            D  Dsus4 D
That Becky never left

   Am              D
I wonder if she's hummin'

         C       C/B     Am
Our old song "The Way I Am"

          C              D       G
Now that Becky's back in Birmingham
[Verse 2]
        G         G/F#    Em7        D
Yeah, I guess she never caught that dream

     Cadd9     D        G
That she left here to chase

G           G/F#   Em7          D
She's been burning wild through mine

        Cadd9      D     G
Like a can't-be-put-out flame

        G         G/F#     Em7        D
Yeah, I wonder if she got rid of that ring

       Cadd9   D      G
Or does she  have it still?

     G        G/F#           Em7             D
Does she ever wish her "no" could have been "yes"?

   Cadd9    D     G
The way I always will
[Pre Chorus]
Am                           D
I guess there's only one way to find out
[Chorus]
       G      G/F#   Em7
While Becky's back in Birmingham

  C       D     G
I bet she never guessed

    G        G/F#     Em7
I doubt this place is in my heart

      C              D Dsus4 D
That Becky never left

   Em7              D
I wonder if she's thinkin'

         C        C/B    Am
The same thoughts that I am

 C              D       G
Now that Becky's back in Birmingham
[Bridge]
C
Here I stand, reelin'

C
I got that first-time front-porch kiss stealin'

C                                                   D Dsus4 D
How fallin' feels while she looks into my eyes and smiles
[Final Chorus] *Capo moves down to 6*
G      G/F#   Em7
Yeah, Becky's back in Birmingham

       C       D      G
And a few will never guess

        G      G/F#     Em7
Yeah, I made a mark on Becky's heart

     C                   D Dsus4 D
That she can't quite forget

       Em7                D
Yeah, things are back to being

             C        C/B       Am
The way they always should have been

C              D       G
Now that Becky's back in Birmingham
Becky's back in Birmingham
