A
Up on the rooftop I can remember

Borders I had to break

Now I can see I had this life
Cm       D/F
To make to make

Em                D/F   G   Am   C 
Im gonna miss your southern drawl
Em                D/F   G   Am   C 
A babys footsteps in an empty hall
Em                D/F   G   Am   C 
And every little thing I can ever recall
               G  D7SUS4  G
In these four walls these four walls
