Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]You[Am] went[F] t[C]hrou[Am]gh f[F]ive
[C]schools,
before [Am]you w[F]ere 17
I can only guess [C]what those
brown [Am]eyes have seen
[F]If we're just a blank sta[C]te
mixed with a [Am]little bit [F]of DNA
[C]And those weekend visits when he'd
show [Am]up late[F]
When I feel helpless,
I see you smil[G]ing back at me
[F]Like every little thing is gonna be [G]okay
Ya you're a tough [F]kid,
[C]way[G] tougher than me
[F]I'll put a bet on you any [G]day

[Verse 2]
[C]Ooh, when your [Am]head gets dizzy
and you [F]can't get right
[C]Ooh, but ya [Am]push on through,
don't [F]be denied
[C]Shake off those ghosts in every
[F]corner of this town
From the [G]clothes on your back,
to the color of your eyes
[F]Ain't no shame in some hand me down[C]s
Oh oh oh

[F]
No, it never made [C]sense,
but it's the [Em]only thing that you [F]know
That re[C]sentment well it
comes and [Em]goes[Am][F]
In your daddy's de[C]fense,
he [Em]nev er really stood a c[F]hange
You should [C]see where he came from
And ? his brothers ended up?
[Em]We get all stuck, but ba[F]be

[Verse 4]
You've been acting [F]reckless,
[G]to deal with the pai[C]n
[F]I just hope you don't
get carried [C]away[G]
And you [C]wear this [F]necklace,
[C]from gra[G]duation day

'cause I'm breaking it

'cause I'm breaking [G]it"

[F]and you can't get right

[C]Shake off those ghosts in every
[F]corner of this town
From [G]the clothes on your back,
to the colour of your eyes
[F]Ain't no shame in some
hand me down[C]s
Oh oh [Am]oh
Ain't no shame in some
[F]hand me down[C]s
Oh oh oh

First of the month,

And moving trucks,

It's out of reach I gotta keep chasing
It's out of reach I gotta keep chasing
It's out of reach I gotta keep
chasing
