We just climbed into the backseat
B minorBm
Eyes wide open to the picture show outside

I guess we really didn't understand it all

Remember looking up at them in the front row

Hands touched together, almost outta sight

It's been a long, hard week but now the slow release
G+G
Of a Sunday afternoon
A augmentedA B minorBm G+G
And we were only young but they were trying hard to reach us

How was I to know that there was something so worth keeping?

'Cause we were
D MajorD
Watching the world through an open window
E minor 7Em7
Trees lined up like dominoes

It's the ordinary things that mean so much
A augmentedA B minorBm
That's where I learned it all, from them
G+G D/F#D/F#
To fight, to love, to laugh again

Man, I thought we were only wasting time

D MajorD G/DG/D D MajorD
The song warms your soul just like an old friend
G/DG/D A augmentedA
Singing songs along that ribbon of a road

And everyone you love is sitting there, so close

You're never thinking that you'd ever get old
G+G
No, you'll never get old

D MajorD G/DG/D D MajorD
I never said where we were going

I just helped them to the back seat
Dad, just laughed and said
B minorBm
"Son, don't drive too far"
G+G
Your momma gets pretty tired these days
D MajorD G/DG/D D MajorD G/DG/D
After a few miles I guess they recognized some places
A augmentedA
And I listened as they reminisced
B minorBm
About a world that they had always known
And how it's changing
G+G
Probably never gonna be the same again
A augmentedA B minorBm G+G
I caught 'em in the mirror, they were holding hands and smiling

Looking younger than they'd been in years
Oh, through all the years
