Am                     C
   I'm back in my hometown
                         G
The main street's dying down
                           F
It's like there's nothing left of it

Am                      C
   No more high school grounds
                         G
They tore that building down
                   F
And everything we built, well I miss

Am                   C
   I cut off my own friends
                       G
So lost inside seeing them
                            F
Feels like we're back there instantly, to me

Am                C
   We all need a chance
                   G
The backyard fires on
                     F
And we stop telling tales of how life used to be


[Pre-Chorus 1]
F                         G
  But years have come and gone
                        F
But these stories carry on
                      G
Looking back, they're better than they used to be


[Chorus 1]
          C
Cause you should'a seen the size of the guys we were fightin'
       F
And we shouldn't be alive at the speeds we were driving
    Am                        G                F
But momma always taught us to never tell a lie

          C
And every ten yard pass always turned into twenty
      F
Every girl we were with never cost any money
       Am                         G          F
And we drank more tequila than any man alive

                   Bb
And the story goes on
                 F             N.C.
It gets a little better, every time we're together

C  F  Am  G  F


[Verse 2]
Am                     C
   It's funny how we change
                          G
And some things stay the same
                D5
God, I miss the glory days, always

Am                    C
   Daylight getting near
                    G
We shed a few more tears
                 D5
Lord, I love the memories we've made


[Pre-Chorus 2]
F                         G
  The years have come and gone
                      F
But the stories carry on
                      G
Looking back, they're better than they used to be


[Chorus 2]
          C
Cause you should'a seen the size of the guys we were fightin'
       F
And we shouldn't be alive at the speeds we were driving
    Am                        G                F
But momma always taught us to never tell a lie

          C
And every ten yard pass always turned into twenty
      F
Every girl we were with never cost any money
       Am                         G          F
And we drank more tequila than any man alive

                   Bb
And the story goes on
                 F             N.C.
It gets a little better, every time we're together

C  F  Am  G  F


[Chorus 3]
          C
Cause you should'a seen the size of the guys we were fightin'
       F
And we shouldn't be alive at the speeds we were driving
    Am                        G                F
But momma always taught us to never tell a lie

          C
And every ten yard pass always turned into twenty
      F
Every girl we were with never cost any money
       Am                         G          F
And we drank more tequila than any man alive

                   Bb
And the story goes on
                 F             N.C.
It gets a little better, every time we're together

C  F  Am  G  F

                   Bb
And the story goes on
                 F             N.C.
It gets a little better, every time we're together
