Introduction: B A C#m E F#
B
Walk with me to a spot down memory lane
A
Out in the fields of amber grain where
C#m E F#
life was simpler in the bed my momma made
B
I could cast a day's worth of skipping stones
A
into the crick that lined the road
C#m E F#
down from the dirt my granddaddy owned and my daddy paved
B
It breaks my heart to know it can't be so
A
simple forever but it's too easy to
C#m E F#
let time wave through me like a hand through the air
B
I'd grin as the sun went down as the
A
cricket's cries faded sight to sound
C#m E F#
If only I could hear it the same
B
Under the singin' bridge about a quarter mile down
A
I'd watch the tadpoles swim around
C#m E F#
Keepin' my eyes peeled for snakes
B
I could travel the world by bike
A
Bound and determined to shatter the speed of light
C#m E F#
I crash and get back up and fly away
B
It breaks my heart to know it can't be so
A
fun forever but it's too easy to
C#m E F#
let time wave through me like a hand through the air
B
I'd grin as the sun went down as the
A
cricket's cries faded sight to sound
C#m E F#
If only I could hear it the same
B
I didn't worry about what I had and I thought
A
everyone did the same but I guess not
C#m E F#
It turns out I was just too young to understand the dealer's games
B
I've thought a lot and it breaks my heart
A
to see life, told that kid from the start
C#m E F#
how to keep myself from fading away
B
'Til I'm too old to see and too cold to care
A
I'll remind myself what's too good to be fair
E G B B2
when the crickets cry, they've always sounded the same
