[Verse 1]
D               G
Being young got old
A                  D
I couldn't wait to grow up
               G
When I finally hit eighteen
A
I got out of this tired old town
D                 G
I didn't get back much
   A            D
As much as mama wanted
                G
The few times I did get back
   A
It didn't hit me like it is right now

[Chorus]
    D
The house got small
    G
Dad lost his hair
    A                  D
The rope swing and the trees aren't there
                         G             A
The neighbour, she ain't sweet old Mrs Jones
       D                  G
Little sister's not right down the hall
A                   Bm7
Rex ain't around to fetch his ball
   G               D                  Em
No need to ride to grandma's down the road
G               A                 D
Damn old Father Time for stealing home

[Verse 2]
D                  G
It didn't take two weeks
         A                   D
From the time the sign first went up
             G
Dad said the folks who bought it
A
Sure do seem to love the place
D                G
Mom called and I came
A                      D
To help her load the U-Haul
                G
Seems for every box I pack
  A
I find another yesterday

[Chorus]
    D                  G
The house was huge and dad had hair
            A                 D
There was a rope swing on the tree right there
               G            A
No one baked a pie like Mrs Jones
       D                      G
And we grew like weeds on the kitchen wall
A                Bm
Rex, he lived to fetch his ball
    G             D                  Em
And grandma was a bike ride down the road
G               A                 D
Damn old Father Time for stealing home

Rex ain't around to fetch his ball

No need to ride to grandma's down the road
