I Thought About Years Guitar Chords Steve And Annie Chapman

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

[Chorus]
D A D G A
And I let time go by so slow,
D A D G A
And I made every moment last.
G
And I thought about years,
A
How they take so long
D
And they go so fast.

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

D A
Then the door flew open and my mother’s voice was laughin’
D A
As she called back to my daddy, “Come and look who’s here!”
G A D
And I thought about years…
