Intro: C G F G

VERSE
         C      G
We were 17 and on our own
         F                    G
When we hit the gas for the great unknown
        C                        G
I was named for a boy, she was named for the fall
       F                        G
And nothing much else really mattered at all


PDC HORUS
   Am
I knew what happened on her kitchen floor
          F
And she knew what it meant when I wrote on the door
  Am
Secrets spilled into that dark
       F
And everyone was a piece of my heart


CHORUS:
         C
It’s a lullaby
        G
It’s a beautiful life
         F                      G
And it sings me to sleep most every night
      C
So I hold it close
       G
And I hide it away
 F                          G
That’s how I keep it from going astray
 Am                                      F
Love doesn’t need a rhyme or a reason to be
                                   C G F G x2
This is the story of Autumn and me.


*Use the same progressions throughout the song....

Verse:
We grew up fast in a few short years 
And we littered the path with the tracks of our tears
But we carved our names in the proverbial wall
And nothing much else really matters at all

Prechorus:
We earned every line in our 25 years
We cried over boys and we laughed over beers
I wouldn’t trade the girl for a song
She lets me know right where I belong

Chorus

Prechorus:
Rooftop dancing in the summer heat
New car crash on a one way street
Strangers moving up to the fourth floor
Strange, now nobody knows me more

Chorus (palm mute the chords):
It’s a lullaby
It’s a beautiful life
And it sings me to sleep most every night
So I hold it close
And I hide it away
That’s how I keep it from going astray

Repeat full chorus
