F F/E
It was here on this floor that I learned to crawl
Dm7 Csus4
And I took my first steps in the upstairs hall
Bb Csus4 F
Crazy back then how it seemed so big to me
F F/E
I can still see the marks on the closet door
Dm7 Csus4
Mom and dad started measuring me at four
Bb Csus4 F
That was always my favorite spot for hide and seek
[Chorus]
Bb F
So to whoever lives here next
C Dm
I have only one request
Bb F C Csus4 C
Promise me that you’ll take care of the place that knew me best
Bb F
I’ll pack my memories and go
C Dm
So you’ll have room to make your own
C Bb Csus4 F
Just be good to the housе that I used to call home
[Verse 2]
F F/E
Therе’s the window where I would sneak out at night
Dm7 Csus4
Had my first kiss right under the back porch light
Bb Csus4 F
When she broke my heart, didn’t leave my room for weeks
F F/E
Eighteen, backing out of the driveway
Dm7 Csus4
Even though everything was about to change
Bb Csus4 F
It’d be there at the end of the street waiting for me
[Chorus]
Bb F
So to whoever lives here next
C Dm
I have only one request
Bb F C Csus4 C
Promise me that you’ll take care of the place that knew me best
Bb F
I’ll pack my memories and go
C Dm
So you’ll have room to make your own
C Bb Csus4 F
Just be good to the housе that I used to call home
[Instrumental]
Bb F Bb F Bb F Csus4
[Bridge]
Bb F
I’ll pack my memories and go
A7 Dm
So you’ll have room to make your own
C Bb Csus4 F
Just be good to the house that I used to call home
[Outro]
F F/E
Now I’ve gathered my things in a cardboard box
Dm7 Csus4
Found the old blanket I thought was lost
Bb Csus4 Dm
It’s the last time that I’ll feel this floor under my feet
Bb Csus4 N.C.
As I’m leaving, this house never looked so small to me
