Verse 1:

          A                         D                  E
Sold the little green house in the old neighborhood
E                   A D E
Kids needed space
          A                     D                 E
Found an acre and a half, four bed, three bath
E                   A D E
It's pretty great
     A                          D
Me and Mike used to run every morning
                             E
He's twice as fast and he's forty
      A                    D
We'd talk about music and Jesus
                     E
He always slows down for me

Chorus:
A            D
  I'm gonna miss this place
                E
  And all the friends we made
A            D                            E
  I always thought that I'd be glad to say goodbye
A           D                       E
  When you find a dream, then you finally see
A            D             E
  That it's bittersweet, like everything

Verse 2:
      A                          D
That black velvet couch from my single days
     E                             A D E
Sit down, you might never get up
             A                               D
If it could talk, it would tell you all the girls I laid
              E                    A D E
And it would say basically none
 A                         D
I know that bookshelf is cheap pine
                       E
Bought it when I was twenty five
    A                   D
It might not be worth saving
                       E
But I don't want to replace it


Chorus:
A            D
  I'm gonna miss this place
                E
  And all the friends we made
A            D                            E
  I always thought that I'd be glad to say goodbye
A           D                       E
  When you find a dream, then you finally see
A            D             E
  That it's bittersweet, like everything

Bridge:
Bm                          C#m
   Wish I could go back in time
                                D
   When my dog and my dad were alive

   Running through Veteran's Park
            E
   I would tell my younger self it's paradise
Bm                              C#m
   I still got the taste in my mouth
                                 D
   Of that Lagavulin shot going down
                                    E
   To the tears on my cheek when I held you near me

   I see it clearly now


Chorus/Final Verse:
A        D
  God, I miss those days
          E
  Why'd I wish 'em away?
A       D                               E
  Why'd I close my eyes, and pray from better times?
A       D                             E
  I'm holding on to you, keep holding on to me
A       D                       E
  The taste of bittersweet, in everything
