Capo 1
[Intro]
Dsus2 D Dsus2 D
[Verse]
Dsus2 D Dsus2 D
Well this is the way I remember this town
Dsus2 D G
Peaceful dreamlike and warm
G/B D Bm
With a fine green mist all that remains
Em A
Of a late afternoon thunderstorm
[Verse]
G
Soon the streetlight will shine on the sidewalk
D Bm
Some kid left his bike in the rain
G D Bm
And in that twilight sky I squint my eyes
Em A Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
This old town still looks the same
[Chorus]
G
I came to this town to remember
D
Somebody I used to be
G D Bm
A kid who believed he could see the whole world
Em A Asus4 A
From the top of a mulberry tree
G
Now that I'm getting older
D Bm
I keep both my feet on the ground
G D Bm
But I'm still looking over my shoulder
Em A Dsus4
For that kid that I left in this town
[Instrumental break]
D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
[Verse]
Dsus2 D Dsus2 D
I can circle the block and park cross the street
Dsus2 D G
From the house where it's Saturday night
G/B D Bm
We talk about places we've never been
Em A Asus4 A Asus2
'Till your father would flash the hall light
[Verse]
G
Sometimes it seems like a long time ago
D Bm
Sometimes it's just like yesterday
G D Bm
But it wouldn't take long in this sleepy old town
Em A Dsus4
For me to believe I could stay
[Instrumental Break]
D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
[Chorus]
G
I came to this town to remember
D
Somebody I used to be
G D Bm
A kid who believed he could see the whole world
Em A Asus4 A
From the top of a mulberry tree
G
Now that I'm getting older
D Bm
I keep both my feet on the ground
G D Bm
But I'm still looking over my shoulder
Em A Dsus4
For that kid that I left in this town
[Instrumental Break]
D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
[Bridge]
G
And if I could paint myself back in this picture
D
I'd find me a tall tree to climb
G D Bm
And look down from above on the town that I love
Em A Asus4 A Asus2
Through the eyes of a child one more time
[Outro]
G
Now that I'm getting older
D Bm
I keep both my feet on the ground
G D Bm
But I'm still looking over my shoulder
Em A Dsus4
For that kid that I left in this town
D Dsus4 x3
