[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
