Intro: Db Bbm Gb Db Bbm Gb

Verse 1:
    Db      Bbm     Gb
You grew up way too young
      Db      Bbm    Gb
And I grew up like a kid should
      Db      Bbm    Gb
I was playing in the sun
               Db     Bbm     Gb       Db Bbm Gb
While you were taking care of everyone

Verse 2:
    Db       Bbm      Gb
You moved in down the street
          Db       Bbm   Gb
Said they gave you new beginnings
         Db    Bbm       Gb
Cuz your older house was haunted
                 Db Bbm        Gb
You shouldn't be 13 and that exhausted

Chorus:
        Bbm7        Ab
I don't know how it goes
        Gb                                   Bbm
Why the grass grows green on one side of the road
             Ab                   Gb
All I know is when you can't take it anymore
Ab              Db   Bbm Gb   Db Bbm Gb
 I'm right next door

Verse 3:
              Db     Bbm  Gb
We rode those horses up until
        Db         Bbm     Gb
The sun went down over the hills
         Db            Bbm   Gb
And when Shamrock died oh it broke your heart
        Db             Bbm         Gb
I thank God we weren't more than a mile apart
        Ebm7    Ab
She was all you had
        Ebm7   Ab
In that broken house

Chorus:
        Bbm
I don't know (I don't know)
       Ab
How it goes (How it goes)
        Gb                                   Db
Why the grass grows green on one side of the road
Bbm                            Ab                  Gb         Ab
All I know is (All I know is), when you can't take it anymore
               Db Bbm Gb
I'm right next door
           Db Bbm Gb
Right next door

Bridge:
Gb                          Ab             Db               Bbm
Because your past is in the attic and your fears are in the basement
            Gb              Ab                 Db          Bbm
And there’s fighting in the kitchen and you're trying to escape it
       Gb              Ab
We can sit and talk it through
     Db              Bbm7
Just down a block or two

Chorus:
        Db           Ab
I don't know how it goes
        Gb                            Ab     Bbm
Why the grass grows green on one side of the road
               Ab                   Gb
All I know is, when you can't take it anymore
               Db   Bbm Gb   Db Bbm Gb
I'm right next door

Outro:
        Db  Bbm  Gb
I'm in Ohio at a show
             Db     Bbm    Gb
And they are crying in the front row
          Db         Bbm      Gb
It's just love we’re looking for
  Db       Bbm    Gb   Bbm  Db
Reminds me of the girl next door
