D A Bm A G D Em A

[Verse 1]
     D
That backstop on the old ballfield's
          Bm7            D
Made from grade-A Pennsylvania steel
     G                        D  Em7 A
It's been sittin' there since 1951
         D
And that Shell's been on the corner
               Bm7                 D
Since Coke was glass and gas was a quarter
         G             D                 Em7
And that water tower's seen ten thousand suns


[Pre-Chorus]
A                          D                   Bm7
You start thinkin' you can love her that long
A                       G           D     Em7  A
And fix you up a little ranch house home


[Chorus]
G                D               A           G
Some things just keep on gettin' better with time
           D                  A                  G
That Chevrolet still tears up clay, but lost its shine
                      D         A                Em
And she'll crank that radio and sing "Strawberry Wine"
                     D                        G
And when you fall in love, there's a cloud of dust
      A                             D     A Bm7 A G D Em7 A
And a dream that's made of American rust


[Verse 2]
         D
And that diamond ring your grandpa gave
   Bm7              D
To grandma way back in the day
       G                   D                     Em7 A
Is the one you're bound to use when you find the one
         D
And that church bell that they rang back then's
    Bm7                 D
The same one they'll be ringing when
    G                 D               Em7
You both say that you do until life's done


[Pre-Chorus]
A                       D                 Bm7
And fix you up a little ranch house home
A                      G           D             Em7    A
Makin' babies 'til you have to add on and on and on, yeah


[Chorus]
G                D               A           G
Some things just keep on gettin' better with time
           D                  A                  G
That Chevrolet still tears up clay, but lost its shine
                      D         A                Em
And she'll crank that radio and sing "Strawberry Wine"
                     D                        G
And when you fall in love, there's a cloud of dust
      A                             G
And a dream that's made of American rust


[Bridge]
G                                 A
Friday night tears, yellow school bus
                               G
Bud light beers and blue clear skies
                                      A
Green John Deeres, ain't it just like us
                                   G    A
To stick around here like American rust
              G
Mmm, American rust


[Chorus]
G                D               A           G
Some things just keep on gettin' better with time
           D                  A                  G
That Chevrolet still tears up clay, but lost its shine
                      D         A                Em
And she'll crank that radio and sing "Strawberry Wine"
                     D                        G
And when you fall in love, there's a cloud of dust
      A                             D     A Bm7
And a dream that's made of American rust
A             G
Mmm, American rust
