You might not know me, to see me
          Gm              F
But I was raised near a little park

I was always a little clumsy

Record player and some mason jars

To Mustane or Clapton or whatever the hell came on

Life was just so simple then, piece of heaven in a small town

How could you know what you were tearing down?

♫ Bridge:

A#
I know you’re doing what you're told
Dm
The house was failing and getting old
Gm
If you knew the memories that it holds
F
You might not act so quickly
A#
The dances on the kitchen floor
Dm
The high marks etched into the door
Gm
I’ve never hurt like this before
F
And that’s the point you’re missing

Close my eyes, take a deep breathe  I can still see inside
     D#           A#            Gm              F
His chair in the corner those kettle whistle sounds
     D#                                    F
