Lyrics & ChordsClick chords to see diagrams
without having to go through fifteen years of music theory. As for standard tuning,
drop tuning or capo the first fret thing...you can do any of the three as long as you
Capo 1
[Verse 1]
DLook at this PhotoAadd11graph, everytime I do it makes me lauC6add9gh,
How did our eyes get so Gadd9red, and what the hell is on Joey's headD?
DAnd this is where I grew Aadd11up, I think the present owner fixed it C6add9up,
I never knew we ever went witGadd9hout,the second floor is high for sneakin' Dout.
DAnd this is where I went to Aadd11school, most of the time had better tC6add9hings to do,
Criminal record says I broke in Gadd9twice, I must have done it half a dozDen times.
DI wonder if it's too late, sAadd11hould I go back and try to graduate,
C6add9Life's better now than it was back then, Gadd9if I was them I wouldn't let me
F6in...
[Chorus]
Oh Oh Oh... Gadd9Oh God I!
DEvery memory of lookin out the back door, I Aadd11had the photo album spread
out on my bedroom C6add9floor, It's hard to say it, time to say it
Gadd9Good-bye, Good-bye.
DEvery memory of walkin out the front door, I found the Aadd11photo of the friend
that I was looking C6add9for, It's hard to say it, time to say it
Gadd9Good-Bye, Good-Bye.
[Verse 2]
DRemember the old aAadd11rcade? Blew every dollar that we ever C6add9made.
The Cops hated us hangin' Gadd9out, they say somebody went and burned iDt down.
We use to listen to the Aadd11radio and sing along with every song weC6add9'd know.
We said someday we'd find out how it Gadd9feels to sing to more than just the
steering Dwheel.
DKim's the first girl I kAadd11issed. I was so nervous that I nearly misseC6add9d.
She's had a couple of kids since Gadd9then. I haven't seen her since god knows
F6when.
[Chorus]
Oh Oh Oh..Gadd9. Oh God I!
DEvery memory of lookin out the back door, I Aadd11had the photo album spread
out on my bedroom C6add9floor, It's hard to say it, time to say it
Gadd9Good-bye, Good-bye.
DEvery memory of walkin out the front door, I found the Aadd11photo of the friend
that I was looking for, It's C6add9hard to say it, time to say it
Gadd9Good-Bye, Good-Bye.
[Bridge]
DI miss that towAadd11n, I miss their facesF6  
You can't erase, Gadd9You can't replDace it.
I miss it nAadd11ow. I can't believe itF6.
So hard to sGadd9tay. To hard to lDeave it.
DIf I could relive those Aadd11days I know the one thing that would never changF6e...
[Chorus]
N.C.
Oh Oh Oh... Oh God I!
DEvery memory of lookin out the back door, I Aadd11had the photo album spread
out on my bedroom C6add9floor, It's hard to say it, time to say it
Gadd9Good-bye, Good-bye.
DEvery memory of walkin out the front door, I found the Aadd11photo of the friend
that I was looking for, It's C6add9hard to say it, time to say it
Gadd9Good-Bye, Good-Bye.
DLook at this photoAadd11graph...every time I do it makes me F6laugh.
Every time I do it makes Gadd9me.
