dear old house that I grew up in
C Fsus2

C Fsus2
dear old house that I grew up in
G Fsus2
can't you find a way to make em stay
Fsus2
and all the girls I went to school with
walked downtown with all the cool kids
C
I was staked out in your cellar
making friends with dead umbrella
Fsus2
and every creak of every floorboard
G
tells the story of the girl I stuck inside
and if they move away
Fsus2 Fsus4
I ll have no place to hide
C Fsus2
dear old house that I grew up in
G Fsus2
I ve never really been in love
C Fsus2
you took my heart when I was a child
G Fsus2
noises wrapped around my little body like a winter glove
you're just a random set of objects
in a town that's filled with sadness
C
in the armpit of the world
you're chopped down trees and rotting soil
Fsus2
and if I wanted to I d keep you
I d fill you up and heat you
G
with the market how it is Amanda
Fsus2 Fsus4
well you know the price of oil
B-maj Em C G
Goodbye stairs and goodbye stars on painted walls
B-maj Em C G
attic door and banister I ll miss you most of all
B-maj Em C G
I were supposed to keep you safe this wasn't supposed to end
B-maj Em C G Fsus2
does it sound ridiculous to call you my best friend
C Fsus2
dear old house that I grew up in
G Fsus2
I know I haven't visited that much
C Fsus2
but every lifeless hotel and apartment I walk into
G Fsus2
just reminds me of the doorknobs that I want to touch
I won't miss you when they sell you
to some evil yuppie couple
C
with the child who'll put Miley Cyrus posters in my bedroom
Fsus2
I am a native of the north
I am a rockstar on the road
I am now permanently located in each place I am known
G
but it doesn't feel like anywhere
Fsus2 Fsus4
when you can't go back home
C Fsus2
dear old house that I grew up in
G Fsus2
I know it isn't your fault this went down
C Fsus2
please don't take it personally Love Amanda PS
G
Tell the evil yuppie couple
Fsus2 C
When I'm rich I'll buy them out
