INTRO:    Am2    Bm    E    (Am2)  E   (Am2)

VERSE
Am2                         Bm                 E
There's still marks on the pantry door of that little house

Am2        Bm              E
Where Mama used to measure us

Am2              Bm                          Cm#
I'm proud to say that's my home where I was raised

Fm                          Bm
But that ain't where I grew up

CHORUS
Am2             
See, I gained a little on Father Time
E
The summer my Granddaddy died
Bm
The first time I saw Mama cry
E                        Fm   Gm#
Man, that sure was tough

Am2
Felt like I put on a few years
Gm#                    Fm
Watching Daddy wipe her tears
Fm                        E                         Am2
In my little coat and tie standing in that cemetery mud
Bm 
That's where I grew up

Am2     Bm     E

VERSE
Am2               Bm                     E
My senior year, a case of beer out on the river bank
Am2            Bm              E
Getting a head start on twenty one
Am2                      Bm                   Cm#
That's the place that made me feel just like a man
Fm                          Bm
But that ain't where I grew up

CHORUS
Am2     
See I gained a little on Father Time
E
That night I crossed that center line
Bm
I bet I rolled a dozen times

E                 Fm  Gm#     Am2 
Next thing I knew I was waking up upside down
Gm#                Fm
Praying God just get me out
Fm                  E                          Am2
Then I hit my knees beside what was left of my truck
Bm                          Am2
Hey, that's where I grew up

BREAK
Am2      Bm          Am2            Bm
You learn as you go, that's how you grow

CHORUS
Am2
See, I gained a little on Father Time
E
When me and her, had our first big fight
Bm
I said some things, I made her cry
E                       Gm#
She packed all her stuff

Am2
The boy in me said let her go
Gm#                             Fm
But the man in me said pull her close
        Fm             E            Am2      Bm
It was time to find out which one I was
Fm                     E            Am2      Bm
Standing in a doorway holding on to love

(HOLD Bm)
That's where I grew up
Am2        Bm       
 E                Am2      Bm     E
Oh, that's where I grew up
