I took you in, right then and there

And life took on a new form

No more stayin out all night
Am G C
No more killin ourselves just to make ourselves feel alright
Am G C G C
No more sleepin with strangers and those awkward goodbyes

Then you came wandering through

I’ll sing about those Denver mornings you’d wake up
Am G
bawlin bout a long lost kid
C F
Your maternal instincts, were kickin' in

As the sun dazzled bright upon the peaks

You brought home a dog you found in the alley

You said "can we keep her?" I said "well, what kind of man would I be?"
Am G C
So you bought her a collar, and you called her your family
F Am G C

F Am G C F
Drivin cross country in a U-Haul, on the hunt for our new home

High atop Eagle Rock, we found a house with a big back yard

So we picked up yet another mutt, from the Crenshaw Pound
F Am G
Sippin' coffee on the porch while the dogs wrestle on the lawn
C C/B Am
I’m sorry I’ve had my doubts…
F G C
Were a family of strays but together we’ve been found
