Goin' thGirty miles-an-hour down a sCide road tC/Balkin' 'bout the fAmish we caught
And I'm Colder now than he was tGhen

Am C/B DCaddy keeps busy in the aC/Bftenoons playin' cAmards by hGimself
And he shCouldn't be shovelin' tC/Bhat first snow, but you knAmow he won't take the help

And yCou still think he's fC/Borty-five and hAme still thinks that you're a kid
[Verse 4]
One dGay you'll find yourself sCayin' the thingsC/B that he sAmaid
You'll be waGlkin' down the hallway, tCurnin' offC/B every lAmight switch
When you twCirl your kids in your Garms
Before you knDow it, it won't take tEmoo long
They'll be rGunnin' off makin' a lCife just lC/Bike Amyou did
[Chorus 3]
Houses need pCaint, winters bring sC/Bnow
Nothin' says "lAmove" like a band of gGold
Babies grow Cup and houses get C/Bsold
And that's how it gAmoes
Time is a thCief, pain is a C/Bgift
The past is the pAmast, it is what it Gis
Every lCine on your face tells a stC/Bory somebody knAmows
That's just how it gDoes
You live long eEmnough and the people you lDove get oGld
C C/B Am
