Intro: C F C

 C            F
Today is my Birthday
   C          F
And all that I want
        F              Am               G        F
Is to dig through this big box of pictures in my kitchen

Till the daylight's gone


     C             F
This one here's my mama
C                    F
With the long, brown hair
    F           Am       G           F
I'm forty years older today than she was in that picture there


       F
But if life stayed they way it was
    C
And lovers never fell out of love
   G
If memories didn't last so long
   C
If nobody did nobody wrong
      F
If we knew what we had before it was gone
   Am         G        F
If every road led back home
           F
This would be
    G                 C
The very last country song

Interlude: C F C

C                F
These are all my babies
C                    F
Lord knows how we survived
    F             Am           G          F
The first one was hard and the last was unplanned

What a big surprise
                    C
That's him with his daddy's eyes


C                 F
I love the man in this one
     C                  F
It's faded, but I don't care
          F             Am          G                      F
There are nights when I wake up and know he's beside me, I swear
                  C
Sometimes I still feel him there


       F
But if life stayed the way it was
    C
And lovers never fell out of love
   G
If memories didn't last so long
   C
If nobody did nobody wrong
      F
If we knew what we had before it was gone
   Am         G        F
If every road led back home
           F
This would be
    G                 C
The very last country song


      F
If we knew what we had before it was gone
     Am       G        F
If every road led back home
           F
This would be
    G                 C
The very last country song
