The Years

I watched Cody play this acoustic in concert and im pretty sure this is correct. Feel free to comment! []Verse 1 G My mother had a mexican boyfriend CGdd9 He stole a car once or twice before CGdd9 He got busted in the best budget inn Em7 I found my way to the door G I couldn't take anymore Verse 2 GCGdd9 Lived with my sister and her second husband CGdd9 South of the river, north of grid CGdd9 I went to work with my cousin Em7 Just like the rest of us kids Cadd9 I tried to keep it all hid Chorus: AEm7 It seemed so long ago AEm7 I swore I'd never let it show D but I kinda did AEm7 The years can slip away AEm7 When your trying to get away D and I never did Verse 3 I got tired of country livin' And tried to make a new batch of friends It's hard to give when theres no givin' I stuck my thumb in the wind Nothing against my kin Verse 4 I headed back to where I started Pawned everything I could pawn I guess I thought they'd be open hearted They never knew I was gone I just kept movin' along Chorus Verse 5 I worked the day and the night life I drilled the bar and I drilled the ground One for pay, one for the good times One of 'em still hangin around I put the other one down Chorus
