Strumming
Capo: 5 Tuning: E A D G B E
Based on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FWl1oMYKjM The C and C/G chords are played as Cadd9 with the E hammered on with the middle finger immediately after. Same for many of the Am7 chords, which are sometimes Am11 with the E hammered on. Same for the F chords, which are almost always Fsus2 with the A hammered on. Check out the video and you'll see/hear it. [Intro] C/G F [Verse 1]
There were Cdays, I swear there were, when the Fcolors were a little brighter, CDodging cars on handlebars, and my Fheart couldn't've been lighter. And as the Csun settled down,F for a long nights rest, CStreetlights came on and IF tried to do my best
[Chorus]
To get on Chome. To get on Fhome. To get on Am7home before my Gmother called my Cname.
F [Verse 2]
Now I Ccruise around my hometown, tryFin to force a smile. All the Cneighborhood kids are tryin' to make it on the skids, and they've been Fgone for a long while. empty Cfacto-ries, empty Fstreets and empty sky. C Truth is, we're doing our Fbest to just get on by.
[Chorus]
Just getting bCy. Just getting bFy. Well there's Csomething that we've Glost along the Am7way. Getting bCy. We're getting Fby. There's sC/Gomething that we're lGosing every Cday.
F C F [Verse 3]
She Chad my heart right from the start, we Fdrank and carried on. We Csang and read in a broken bed and stayed Fup until the dawn. She'd Csend me with a song each Fnight out on the road. She was Cstuck there in my head, jus-a Fcalling me back home.
[Chorus]
Now get on Chome. Get on Fhome. Get on C/Ghome before your Gdarlin' sails aCway. oh wooh ooh F
[Verse 4]
So the Cdays and nights keep sailing by, just Flike they like to do. CShe and I sang that lullaby til our Fchildren saw them true. SomeCtimes we sit together when Fall the house is dark, Dust Coff our favorite records, just-a Fsearching for that spark.
[Chorus]
We're getting byAm7. We're getting bFy. Well there's C/Gsomething that we've Glost along the Am7way. Geting Cby. Getting Fbyyy. Does the Am7spirit of the pastG get cast aCway?
[Bridge] oooOOOHH
She said there's Gmore to this, I know there is, I get a Fglimpse of it someCtimes. GBaby when we're driving late at night, we got the wFindows open wide. GBaby when you hold me, Fba-aby when you Csmile, We're Am7not just getting C/Gby, for Fjust a little while.
[Pre-Chorus]
oh oo COO oh oo FOO wa-oh Am7ooo GOoOo Fooo oh oo COO oh oo FOO wa-oh Am7ooo GOoOo Fooo
[Outro Chorus]
Just getting Am7by. Just Cgetting bFyyy. Is there so-Am7omething that we've lost along the Fway? Just getting Am7by. Getting Fby. You Am7know you can't go back the way you Fcame. You've Am7got to find your Ghome along the Cway.
