dear old house that I grew up in
C F2
I know that I?ll leave you any day
C F2
dear old house that I grew up in
G F2
can't you find a way to make em stay?
F2
and all the girls I went to school with
walked downtown with all the cool kids
C
I was staked out in your cellar
making friends with dead umbrella
F2
and every creak of every floorboard
G
tells the story of the girl I stuck inside
and if they move away
F2 F4
I?ll have no place to ? hide
C F2
dear old house that I grew up in
G F2
I?ve never really been in love
C F2
you took my heart when I was a child
G F2
noises wrapped around my little body like a winter glove
you're just a random set of objects
C
in the armpit of the world
you're chopped down trees and rotting soil
F2
and if I wanted to I?d keep you
I?d fill you up and heat you
G
with the market how it is, Amanda
F2 F4
well you know, the price of ... oil
B Em C G
Goodbye stairs, and goodbye stars on painted walls at home
B Em C G
attic door, and banister, I?ll miss you most of all
B Em C G
you were supposed to keep me safe, this wasn't supposed to end
B Em C G F2
does it sound ridiculous, to call you my best friend?
C F2
dear old house that I grew up in
G F2
I know I haven't visited that much
C F2
but, every lifeless hotel and apartment I walk into
G F2
just reminds me of the doorknobs that I want to touch
I won't miss you, when they sell you
C
with the child who'll put Miley Cyrus posters in my bedroom
F2
I am a native of the north
I am a rockstar on the road
G
but it doesn't feel like anywhere
F2 F4
when you can't go back... home
C F2
dear old house that I grew up in
G F2
I know it isn't your fault this panned out,
C F2
please don't take it personally, PS,
G
Tell the evil yuppie couple
F2 C
When I'm rich, I'll buy you back.
