♫ Verse 1:
A#A# FF
You might not know me, to see me
G minorGm FF
But I was raised near a little park
D#D# A#A# G minorGm FF
On Duff st. in Westville, I can prove it by my scars
D#D# A#A#
I fell off the swing and scraped my knee
G minorGm FF
Scared my daddy half to death
D#D#
I was always a little clumsy
FF
Guess that aint changed yet
A#A# FF
Down the stairs in the basement
G minorGm FF
That’s where papa taught me guitar
D#D# A#A#
Not much down there but a workbench
G minorGm FF
Record player and some mason jars
D#D# A#A#
As the years go on I still write songs
G minorGm FF
And it kills me he’s not around
D#D# FF
But how could you know what you were tearing down?
G minorGm FF
How could you know what you were tearing down
♫ Chorus:
A#A# G minorGm FF
Memories were made, laughs were had and hearts were broken
A#A# G minorGm FF
Lessons learned some way too hard but that door was always open
G minorGm FF D#D#
And I don’t expect you to understand
G minorGm FF A#A#
But it’s more than just a house on that land
A#A# DmDm G minorGm FF
♫ Verse 2:
A#A# FF G minorGm FF
On the front porch at nighttime we’d sick and we’d pick along
D#D# A#A# G minorGm FF
To Mustane or Clapton or whatever the hell came on
D#D# A#A# G minorGm FF
Life was just so simple then, piece of heaven in a small town
D#D# FF
How could you know what you were tearing down?
G minorGm FF
How could you know what you were tearing down?
♫ Chorus:
A#A# G minorGm FF
Memories were made, laughs were had and hearts were broken
A#A# G minorGm FF
Lessons learned some way too hard but that door was always open
G minorGm FF D#D#
And I don’t expect you to understand
G minorGm FF A#A#
But it’s more than just a house on that land
A#A# DmDm G minorGm FF
♫ Bridge:
A#A#
I know you’re doing what you're told
DmDm
The house was failing and getting old
G minorGm
If you knew the memories that it holds
FF
You might not act so quickly
A#A#
The dances on the kitchen floor
DmDm
The high marks etched into the door
G minorGm
I’ve never hurt like this before
FF
And that’s the point you’re missing
♫ Chorus:
A#A# G minorGm FF
Memories were made, laughs were had and hearts were broken
A#A# G minorGm FF
Lessons learned some way too hard but that door was always open
G minorGm FF D#D#
And I don’t expect you to understand
G minorGm FF A#A#
But it’s more than just a house on that land
♫ Verse 3:
A#A# FF
When I drive by, I still look
G minorGm FF
Though I’m not the prayin kind
D#D# A#A# G minorGm FF
Close my eyes, take a deep breathe I can still see inside
D#D# A#A# G minorGm FF
His chair in the corner those kettle whistle sounds
D#D# FF
How could you know what you were tearing down
G minorGm FF
How could you know what you were tearing down
D#D# FF A#A#
How could you know what you were tearing down?
