I Thought About Years Chords & Lyrics - Misc Unsigned Bands - Steve And Annie Chapman

[VERSE]
[C]I went home for Christmas to the [G]house that I grew up in. [C]
Going back was something after [F]all these years. [C]
I drove down Monterey Street and [G]felt a little sadness [C]
When I turned left on Laurel and the [F]house appeared.
And I [G]snuck up to that rockin' chair
Where the [F]winter sunlight slanted on the [G]screened-in porch.
And I [F]stared out past the shade tree that my [Am]laughin' daddy planted
On the [C]day that I was [G]born.

[CHORUS]
And I let [C]time [G]go [C]by [F]so [G]slow,
And I made [C]eve[G]ry [C]mo[F]ment [G]last.
And I thought about [F]years,
How they take so [G]long
And they go so [C]fast.

[VERSE]
[C]Across the street the Randal's oldest [G]daughter must've come home; [C]
Her two boys built a snowman by the [F]backyard swing. [C]
I thought of old man Randal and his [G]Christmas decorations [C]
And how he used to keep them up 'til [F]early spring.
And I [G]thought of all the summers
That I [F]paced that porch and knew I'd die of [G]boredom there;
And I [F]thought of what I'd give to feel a[Am]nother summer linger
Where a [C]day feels like a [G]year.

[Tag]
[C]Then the door flew open and my [G]mother's voice was laughin'
As she [C]called back to my daddy, "Come and [G]look who's here!"
And I thought about [F]years... [G] [C]
