- Capo on 2nd
- Difficulty: Beginner 👶
♫ Intro:
A# Dm Gm F
♫ Verse 1:
A# F
You might not know me, to see me
Gm F
But I was raised near a little park
D# A# Gm F
On Duff st. in Westville, I can prove it by my scars
D# A#
I fell off the swing and scraped my knee
Gm F
Scared my daddy half to death
D#
I was always a little clumsy
F
Guess that aint changed yet
A# F
Down the stairs in the basement
Gm F
That’s where papa taught me guitar
D# A#
Not much down there but a workbench
Gm F
Record player and some mason jars
D# A#
As the years go on I still write songs
Gm F
And it kills me he’s not around
D# F
But how could you know what you were tearing down?
Gm F
How could you know what you were tearing down
♫ Chorus:
A# Gm F
Memories were made, laughs were had and hearts were broken
A# Gm F
Lessons learned some way too hard but that door was always open
Gm F D#
And I don’t expect you to understand
Gm F A#
But it’s more than just a house on that land
A# Dm Gm F
♫ Verse 2:
A# F Gm F
On the front porch at nighttime we’d sick and we’d pick along
D# A# Gm F
To Mustane or Clapton or whatever the hell came on
D# A# Gm F
Life was just so simple then, piece of heaven in a small town
D# F
How could you know what you were tearing down?
Gm F
How could you know what you were tearing down?
♫ Chorus:
A# Gm F
Memories were made, laughs were had and hearts were broken
A# Gm F
Lessons learned some way too hard but that door was always open
Gm F D#
And I don’t expect you to understand
Gm F A#
But it’s more than just a house on that land
A# Dm Gm F
♫ 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
♫ Chorus:
A# Gm F
Memories were made, laughs were had and hearts were broken
A# Gm F
Lessons learned some way too hard but that door was always open
Gm F D#
And I don’t expect you to understand
Gm F A#
But it’s more than just a house on that land
♫ Verse 3:
A# F
When I drive by, I still look
Gm F
Though I’m not the prayin kind
D# A# Gm F
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
How could you know what you were tearing down
Gm F
How could you know what you were tearing down
D# F A#
How could you know what you were tearing down? Published:
