[Verse 1]
D
Over and over,
     D
Look over your shoulder,
   D                      A        A7
At all of the soot on the ground,
             A7
Oh it's been falling down from the moment,
            D
We got into town,
       D
You're older,
       D
You're bolder,
       D          D
You've never been colder,
                                A     A7
You've come in here looking for more,
                A7
And ah you take all you can fit in your arms,
                      D
When you walk out the door,

[Chorus]
    G                  D
You didn't even see it coming,
    G                            D
You know you should have seen it coming,
    G                       Bm
You might have even seen it coming,
    A                       A7
You could-a would-a seen it all,
                       D
Could-a would-a had it all,

[Verse 2]
D         D
Father oh father,
     D             D
Your sons and your daughters,
     D                           A        A7
They learn how to stand on their own,
          A7                                                  D
Oh when a slap on the left and a kick to the right's all they know,

| D | D | D | D |

D        D
Daily oh daily,
    D          D
But then again maybe,
       D            D             A      A7
You'll learn how to love what you have,
             A7
Oh if you'll find there is more to this game than,
                D
The give or the grab,

[Chorus]
    G                  D
You didn't even see it coming,
    G                            D
You know you should have seen it coming,
    G                       Bm
You might have even seen it coming,
    A                       A7
You could-a would-a seen it all,
A7
Could and would and shouldn't have to crawl,

[Bridge]
   D             D
So shoulder grow older,
      D         D
Don't ever grow colder,
    D               D            A         A7
And time will bring love to your side,
A7
Oh if you'll choose to refuse to sit tight,
                     D
While she passes you by,

| D | D | D | D |
    D          D            D
And maybe just maybe she'll take it,
   D
Oh safely,
   D                    A         A7
No more of your running around,
A7
Over and over the knife,
A7                                D
Fall and dance in the soot on the ground,

[Chorus]
    G                  D
You didn't even see it coming,
    G                            D
You know you should have seen it coming,
    G                       Bm
You might have even seen it coming,
    A                       A7
You could-a would-a seen it all,
                       D
Could-a would-a had it all,
