[Intro] Em D Em D C Em D C Wo o o [Verse] Em D C For sale by owner sign on Em D Highway fifty-nine Em D A signal of the times, C Em D a turning of the page Em D C There used to be nothing here, Em D but that nothing disappeared D Em D The pond, the barn, the farm, the fields C Em D have long since been replaced C Asphalt parking where that Am Em ten pew Pentecostal stood C Fast food, four lanes, Am Em and a subdivided neighborhood [Chorus] G Em The walls of the world are closin’ in C The spreadin’ city spreads us thin G Till we can't seem to make Am Em D our ends meet in the black G Em I never would've thought it wouldn't last C A way of life that time moved past G Am What I wouldn't give to have... Em G the back forty back [Instrumental] Em D Em D C Em D C [Verse] Em D C Em Maybe I’m a sucker for knowing D who lives next door Em A view from my back porch, C Em D a pinch of peace and quiet Em D C I can’t get back the used to be’s, Em D so I hang on to the memories Em Of when I could still look up and see C Em D the stars not street lights shining [Chorus] G Em The walls of the world are closin’ in C The spreadin’ city spreads us thin G Till we can't seem to make Am Em D our ends meet in the black G Em I never would've thought it wouldn't last C A way of life that time moved past G Am What I wouldn't give to have... Em G the back forty back [Post-Chorus] G Em Now, I get that progress has its place C And no regard for what it takes G Wish it would slow its pace, Am Em D and cut us all some slack G Em ‘Cause it’s all changing way too fast C A way of life that time moved past G Am What I wouldn't give to have... Em G the back forty back [Outro] D C Em D C Em D C
