Where I Grew Up Kenny Chesney
CAPO 2
INTRO: Am2 Bm E (Am2) E (Am2)
VERSE
[Am2]There's still marks on the p[Bm]antry door of that [E]little house
[Am2]Where Mama [Bm]used to measure [E]us
[Am2]I'm proud to say [Bm]that's my home where I was r[Cm#]aised
[Fm]But that ain't where I grew [Bm]up
CHORUS
[Am2]See, I gained a little on Father Time
[E]The summer my Granddaddy died
[Bm]The first time I saw Mama cry
[E]Man, that sure was tough[Fm] [Gm#]
[Am2]Felt like I put on a few years
[Gm#]Watching Daddy wipe her[Fm] tears
[Fm]In my little coat and tie [E]standing in that cemetery [Am2]mud
[Bm]That's where I grew up
[Am2] [Bm] [E]
VERSE
[Am2]My senior year, a [Bm]case of beer out on the[E] river bank
[Am2]Getting a head [Bm]start on twenty [E]one
[Am2]That's the place that mad[Bm]e me feel just like a[Cm#] man
[Fm]But that ain't where I grew [Bm]up
CHORUS
[Am2]See I gained a little on Father Time
[E]That night I crossed that center line
[Bm]I bet I rolled a dozen times
[E]Next thing I knew [Fm]I wa[Gm#]s waking[Am2] up upside down
[Gm#]Praying God just ge[Fm]t me out
[Fm]Then I hit my knees [E]beside what was left of my [Am2]truck
[Bm]Hey, that's where I grew up[Am2]
BREAK
[Am2]You learn[Bm] as you go, [Am2]that's how you [Bm]grow
CHORUS
[Am2]See, I gained a little on Father Time
[E]When me and her, had our first big fight
[Bm]I said some things, I made her cry
[E]She packed all her stuff[Gm#]
[Am2]The boy in me said let her go
[Gm#]But the man in me said pull her [Fm]close
It was t[Fm]ime to find out[E] which one I [Am2]was[Bm]
[Fm]Standing in a doorway h[E]olding on to [Am2]love[Bm]
(HOLD Bm)
That's where I grew up
[Am2] [Bm]
O[E]h, that's where I[Am2] grew up[Bm] [E]
