[Intro]
G C C/B Am 2x
[Verse 1]
G C C/B Am
Someone said "Youth is wasted on the young"
G C C/B Am
I spilled ever y last drop of time that summer in the sun
Am C/B C G
My daddy had a Timex watch
D Em
Cigarette in his hand and a mouthful of scotch
G C C/B Am
Spinnin' me around like a tilt-a-whirl on his arm
[Chorus 1]
C C/B
Houses need paint, winters bring snow
Am G
Kids, come on in before your supper gets cold
C C/B
Collection plates and daddy's billfold
Am
And that's how it goes
D G
You live long enough, people get old
C C/B Am
G C C/B Am
[Verse 2]
G C C/B Am
I sat up right beside him in the cab of that truck
G C C/B Am
Goin' thirty miles-an-hour down a side road talkin' 'bout the fish we caught
C G
And I'm older now than he was then
D Em
If I could go back in time, I would in a second
G C C/B Am
To his beat-up blue jeans and a t-shirt with the sleeves cut off
[Chorus 2]
C C/B
Houses need paint, winters bring snow
Am G
Kids growin' up and seekin' out the window
C C/B
Hittin' every small-town dirt road
Am
And that's how it goes
D C C/B Am G
You live long enough and people get old
C C/B Am
Yeah, people get old
[Verse 3]
Am C/B C C/B Am G
Daddy keeps busy in the aftenoons playin' cards by himself
C C/B Am
And he shouldn't be shovelin' that first snow, but you know he won't take the help
C C/B Am G
Full of pride and love, he don't say too much but hell, he never did
C C/B Am
And you still think he's forty-five and he still thinks that you're a kid
[Verse 4]
G C C/B Am
One day you'll find yourself sayin' the things that he said
G C C/B Am
You'll be walkin' down the hallway, turnin' off every light switch
C G
When you twirl your kids in your arms
D Em
Before you know it, it won't take too long
G C C/B Am
They'll be runnin' off makin' a life just like you did
[Chorus 3]
C C/B
Houses need paint, winters bring snow
Am G
Nothin' says "love" like a band of gold
C C/B
Babies grow up and houses get sold
Am
And that's how it goes
C C/B
Time is a thief, pain is a gift
Am G
The past is the past, it is what it is
C C/B Am
Every line on your face tells a story somebody knows
D
That's just how it goes
Em D G
You live long enough and the people you love get old
