Verse 1:
G
Two bed, one bath
C
Sittin’ pretty in a cul de sac
         G
From the rooftop to the welcome mat
         C
It’s the cover of Southern Living
G

Homecoming king and queen
C
Next step was a diamond ring
G
Made hometown history
         C
Cause we didn’t know no different
Em
Checked all the boxes
        C
Of what we're supposed to do
Em
So why don’t it feel like something

I can come home to

 We built this house up brick by brick
                D/F#                       Em
Keep the door unlocked and the porch light lit

But gotten pretty good at playing pretend
       Em               C                   G
Yeah we look past loose screws and a broken hinge
                   D/F#          Em

So we throw a coat of paint
                                   G    C
On a fence that we just can’t mend

For worse or for better, baby

Built a white picket all the way around
