SONG: GROWING UP ARTIST: LORI MCKENNA TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected] [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
