Intro:

D A/C# Bm G A

D                
A couple miles we're almost there
A
Smack dab in the middle of nowhere
Bm                                   G
This old place will always feel like home

D
Man this town has really changed
A
But I swear it feels the same
Bm                             G                 
All up and down these roads we roamed


A       Bm
I wanna show you
    G
The livin' that I've done
A           Bm
Just let me show you
         G         A
Where it is that I come from. Right here!


D                   A/C#
This is where I discovered love
    Bm                        A
And where I learned about the One above
    G           A
And where I was young and crazy
D               A/C#
This is where I became a man
  Bm                       A
I faced those demons and I took my stand
    G                    A
And where I learned your heart could be broken
D           G                 A
And this is where it all went down
               D
This is my old stompin' ground


D A/C# Bm G A


D
Over there's where I played ball
A
Man I felt about ten feet tall
     Bm                            G
When I came up to bat they'd all back up

D
There we'd hide by the light of the moon
A
And hit the cars with the water ballons
Bm                             G
Right there I swear I rolled my truck


A       Bm
I wanna show you
    G
The livin' that I've done
A           Bm
Just let me show you
         G         A
Where it is that I come from. Right here!


D                   A/C#
This is where I discovered love
    Bm                        A
And where I learned about the One above
    G           A
And where I was young and crazy
D               A/C#
This is where I became a man
  Bm                       A
I faced those demons and I took my stand
    G                    A
And where I learned your heart could be broken
D           G                 A
And this is where it all went down
               D
This is my old stompin' ground


Bm                                    F#m
And I'll never lose those feelings or memories
          G                              A
They're a part of me, my legacy. It's my history


D               A/C#
This is where I learned to fight
  Bm                    A
I felt the heat until I saw the light
    G                    A
And where I learned that sometimes you don't win
D                     A/C#
This is where I found my best friend
   Bm                     A
We stuck together through thick and thin
G                   A
I can't believe the things we did back then

D               A/C#


This is where I discovered love
    Bm                        A
And where I learned about the One above
    G           A
And where I was young and crazy
D           G                 A
And this is where it all went down
               D               A/C#      Bm              G  A
This is my old stompin' ground        My stompin' ground
               D               A/C#      Bm              G  A  D
This is my old stompin' ground    My old stompin' ground
