Sitting on Gconcrete steps I grew up climbing
EmI take ‘em two at a time now
FBut I still reach for the rail
‘Cause that’s what you Ddo
[Chorus]
There’s a Ccomfort in keeping and Dkeeping to a path
EmDoing what I know and Cknowing what I have
CThe safety of a rail gives my Dhands something to do
But one Gday this Drail is gonna Emrust right Cthrough
One Gday it’s gonna Drust right Gthrough

Emach Emone that I reach says something about me
It’s Fwhat they want to hear

[Intro]

G D Em C G D G

[Verse 1]

There’s an old yellow house sitting on my dash

In a picture I took, sunlight for a flash

The whole family out front

‘Cause that’s what you do

[Verse 2]

Sitting on concrete steps I grew up climbing

I take ‘em two at a time now

But I still reach for the rail

‘Cause that’s what you do

[Chorus]

C D

There’s a comfort in keeping and keeping to a path

Em C

Doing what I know and knowing what I have

C D

The safety of a rail gives my hands something to do

G D Em C

But one day this rail is gonna rust right through

G D G

One day it’s gonna rust right through

[Interlude]

G D Em C G D G

[Verse 3]

There are places to go and milestones to meet

Emach one that I reach says something about me

It’s what they want to hear

‘Cause that’s what I do

[Verse 4]

I’ve kept my head down, kept my mouth shut

Anything to keep me from screwing up

Holding on to their version of me

‘Cause that’s what I do

[Chorus]

Middle of this highway, same old drive

In what might be, the middle of my life

Giving in to what I really need feels like giving up

But I’m done giving up on myself

Holding on to what they say

[Chorus]
