Tom: C Am C I'm back in my hometown G The main street's dying down F It's like there's nothing left of it Am C No more high school grounds G They tore that building down F And everything we built, I miss Am C I cut off my own friends G So lost inside seeing them F Feels like were back there instantly, to me Am C We all need a chance G The backyard fires on F And we stop telling tales of how life used to be F G The years have come and gone F But these stories carry on G Looking back, they're better than they used to be C Cause you should'a seen the size of the guy's we were fightin' F And we shouldn't be alive at the speeds we were driving Am G F But momma always taught us never ever to tell a lie C And every tenny out there's always turned into twenty F Every girl we were with never cost any money Am G F And we drank more tequila than any man alive Bb And the story goes on F N.C. It gets a little better, every time we're together ( C F Am G F ) Am C It's funny how we change G And some things stay the same D5 God, I miss the glory days, always Am C Daylight getting near G We shed a few more tears D5 Lord, I love the memories we've made F G The years have come and gone F But these stories carry on G Looking back, they're better than they used to be C Cause you should'a seen the size of the guy's we were fightin' F And we shouldn't be alive at the speeds we were driving Am G F But momma always taught us never ever to tell a lie C And every tenny out there's always turned into twenty F Every girl we were with never cost any money Am G F And we drank more tequila than any man alive Bb And the story goes on F N.C.
