Kenny Chesney — Where I Grew Up
CAPO 2 INTRO: Am2 Bm E (Am2) E (Am2) VERSE Am2 Bm E There's still marks on the pantry door of that little house Am2 Bm E Where Mama used to measure us Am2 Bm Cm# I'm proud to say that's my home where I was raised Fm Bm But that ain't where I grew up CHORUS Am2 See, I gained a little on Father Time E The summer my Granddaddy died Bm The first time I saw Mama cry E Gm# Man, that sure was tough Am2 Felt like I put on a few years Gm# Fm Watching Daddy wipe her tears Fm E Am2 In my little coat and tie standing in that cemetery mud Bm That's where I grew up ABE VERSE Am2 Bm E My senior year, a case of beer out on the river bank Am2 Bm E Getting a head start on twenty one Am2 Bm Cm# That's the place that made me feel just like a man Fm Bm But that ain't where I grew up CHORUS Am2 See I gained a little on Father Time E That night I crossed that center line Bm I bet I rolled a dozen times E Fm Gm# Am2 Next thing I knew I was waking up upside down Gm# Fm Praying God just get me out Fm E Am2 Then I hit my knees beside what was left of my truck Bm Am2 Hey, that's where I grew up BREAK Am2 Bm Am2 Bm You learn as you go, that's how you grow CHORUS Am2 See, I gained a little on Father Time E When me and her, had our first big fight Bm I said some things, I made her cry E Gm# She packed all her stuff Am2 The boy in me said let her go Gm# Fm But the man in me said pull her close Fm E Am2Bm It was time to find out which one I was Fm E Am2 Bm Standing in a doorway holding on to love (HOLD Bm) That's where I grew up ABm E Am2 Em Oh, that's where I grew up
