[Intro] N.C [Verse] C#m B E Backyard dirt in our veins C#m Blood of Christ, B E Sunday morning clothes C#m B E We were coming of age C#m B In the way, way back of a station wagon, A breathing secondhand smoke C#m B E Ash trays in the kitchen sink C#m B E Oprah's on the big TV at 4 C#m B Barbie clothes in A a Crown Royal bag C#m Jesus in the living room, B E Mama's locked her bedroom door [Chorus] A E When the way it was wasn't A E what it seemed B Lemonade stand summers, C#m B prom king working at the Dairy Queen A E All the stars we hung above B C#m those small-town trees A Young hearts still unbroken, B flies by before you know it C#m B A If you move on just the way time does Till something brings you right back E A To growing up E A Growing up [Verse] C#m B E Church field, travel carnival C#m I'll meet you at the B E Ferris wheel at 10 C#m B We'll step across that line, A just as far as we can go C#m Before it's our turn to see B E how big the real world is [Chorus] A E When the way it was wasn't A E what it seemed B C#m B Making out in back seats behind the Dairy Queen A E All the stars we hung above B C#m those small-town trees A Young hearts trying to out run B 'em, promise we don't become 'em C#m B A Just move on the way time does Till something brings you right back E A To growing up E A Growing up [Break] B Now you're six years sober, A taking your mother to her treatments B She says she wants to see the A old house one more time C#m B And you can't go back any more A than she can go back And if you said you didn't miss it, B you'd be lying [Chorus] A E When the way it was wasn't A E what it seemed B E Maybe you could trasde that freedom back for some of that naive A E All the stars we hung above B C#m those small-town trees A Maybe they can remind you, B I bet they'd recognize you C#m You think you moved on, but B A no one really does C#m Just like no one tells you B A it'll be this tough, this tough [Outro] E A Growing up E A Growing up E A E A E
