Verse 1:

My first bike had a banana seat on it

Bright orange with a sunshine on the side

The handle bent and my cousin didn't want it
G D G
So that summer I learned to ride, mm
Verse 2:
D G
There's a worn-out denim pearl snap in my closet
D G
When I got it, it was already getting old
D
The bottom's frayed and the color's gone
G D
Even the hanger that it's hanging on is wishing I would let it go
G
Like some other things I know
Chorus:
Bm A
Daddy's anger and his pride
G
My mama's sadness she taught me how to hide
Bm A
There ain't a damn thing that's ever just been mine
G D G D G
I'm out here walking around in hand-me-downs
Verse 3:
D G
I'm a wrecking ball when I get lonely
D G
Courtesy of my old man's old man, and his old man
D G
And that ain't the kind of heirloom that I wanted
D G
Oh, and don't it make me think I'm only made of broken things that I can't stand
Chorus:
Bm A
Like Daddy's anger and his pride
G
My mama's sadness she taught me how to hide

There ain't a damn thing that's ever just been mine
G D G D G
I'm out here walking around, oh, in hand-me-downs
Bridge:
Bm A
Oh, and damn it, it's gonna take a long time
G
But if I can just understand it and leave something better behind
Bm A
And if that's the only thing that's ever just mine
G D G
They won't put me in the ground, oh, in hand-me-downs
D G
Hand-me-downs
Outro:
D G
Oh, in hand-me-downs
