Chords

[Intro] D G A D D G A A [Verse 1]
D               G
Being young got old

A                  D
I couldn't wait to grow up

               G
When I finally hit eighteen

A
I got out of this tired old town

D                 G
I didn't get back much

   A            D
As much as mama wanted

                G
The few times I did get back

   A
It didn't hit me like it is right now
[Chorus]
    D
The house got small

    G
Dad lost his hair

    A                  D
The rope swing and the trees aren't there

                         G             A
The neighbour, she ain't sweet old Mrs Jones

       D                  G
Little sister's not right down the hall

No need to ride to grandma's down the road

Damn old Father Time for stealing home
[Break] D A D [Verse 2]
D                  G
It didn't take two weeks

         A                   D
From the time the sign first went up

             G
Dad said the folks who bought it

A
Sure do seem to love the place

D                G
Mom called and I came

A                      D
To help her load the U-Haul

                G
Seems for every box I pack

  A
I find another yesterday
[Chorus]
    D                  G
The house was huge and dad had hair

            A                 D
There was a rope swing on the tree right there

               G            A
No one baked a pie like Mrs Jones

       D                      G
And we grew like weeds on the kitchen wall

A                Bm
Rex, he lived to fetch his ball

    G             D                  Em
And grandma was a bike ride down the road

G               A                 D
Damn old Father Time for stealing home
[Break] G A D D G A A [Outro]
       D                  G
Little sister's not right down the hall

A                   Bm             A G
Rex ain't around to fetch his ball

G                  D                  Em
No need to ride to grandma's down the road

G               A                 D
Damn old Father Time for stealing home
[Break] G A D D G A D
