[Intro]

G G/F# Em7 D C D G

[Verse 1]

G G/F# Em7 D

Round here it's the bills and the lack of jobs

C D G

That dominates our table talks

G G/F# Em7 D

But tonight as I buttered up my bread

C D G

Momma said, "guess who I saw at Walt's?"

G G/F# Em7 D

I heard her name, and I felt the pain

C D G

Of excitement and regret

G G/F# Em7 D

Just like that, in my mind,

C D G

I was twenty-one again

[Pre Chorus]

Am D

I wonder if I'm the reason why

[Chorus]

G G/F# Em7

That Becky's back in Birmingham

C D G

I bet she never left

G Em7

I doubt this place is in my heart

C D Dsus4 D

That Becky never left

Am D

I wonder if she's hummin'

C C/B Am

Our old song "The Way I Am"

C D G

Now that Becky's back in Birmingham

[Verse 2]

G G/F# Em7 D

Yeah, I guess she never caught that dream

Cadd9 D G

That she left here to chase

G G/F# Em7 D

She's been burning wild through mine

Cadd9 D G

Like a can't-be-put-out flame

G G/F# Em7 D

Yeah, I wonder if she got rid of that ring

Cadd9 D G

Or does she have it still?

G G/F# Em7 D

Does she ever wish her "no" could have been "yes"?

Cadd9 D G

The way I always will

[Pre Chorus]

Am D

I guess there's only one way to find out

[Chorus]

G G/F# Em7

While Becky's back in Birmingham

C D G

I bet she never guessed

G G/F# Em7

I doubt this place is in my heart

C D Dsus4 D

That Becky never left

Em7 D

I wonder if she's thinkin'

C C/B Am

The same thoughts that I am

C D G

Now that Becky's back in Birmingham

[Bridge]

Here I stand, reelin'

I got that first-time front-porch kiss stealin'

C D Dsus4 D

How fallin' feels while she looks into my eyes and smiles

[Final Chorus] *Capo moves down to 6*

G G/F# Em7

Yeah, Becky's back in Birmingham

C D G

And a few will never guess

G G/F# Em7

Yeah, I made a mark on Becky's heart

C D Dsus4 D

That she can't quite forget

Em7 D

C C/B Am

The way they always should have been
