Verse 1:
D A
My early memories only come in handfuls
G A
And those that follow span a decade uneventful
D A G A
They live in VCRs that play my scrapes and scars on a screen for all
D A
'Cause I was never one to look at them as anchors
G A
But something lighter like a souvenir or postcard
D A G A*
I packed them up to drive and carry on 'til I called a new town home
Chorus:
D A Bm G
I wanted more for myself than seeing life in the shade of this town

To always follow footsteps that never left I wanted more for myself

And if we're meant for things, then maybe I'm meant to be here

D A Bm G
I wanted more for myself than seeing life in the shade of this town
D A Bm G*
To always follow footsteps that never left I wanted more for myself

And if we're meant for things then maybe I'm meant to be here
