verse 1  
G                     C                G  
Little boy's supposed to do what he's told  
G                         C           G  
Little girl's supposed to polish her toes  
Bm                                    C                     G  
Maybe they're together when they're older and they're all grown up  
G                         C           G  
Daddy's supposed to put bread on the table  
G                      C          G  
Daddy's gone and your mama ain't able  
Bm                       C                  G  
Are you hungry when the money's all run out?  


[Refrão]
D  
Tell me little dear if you only lived here  
         C                   G  
Did you really ever live at all  
       D  
Cause you'd be amazed in the summer of a daze  
          C               G  
And the spring turn into fall  
      Bm  
Just listen to your brother  
        Em                       G                  Em  
You can run in the cover of the night sky when it falls  
    C                            D  
I know that you think you're growing  
                 G  
But you're just tall

verse 2  
    G                        C           G  
A really pretty girl in a really small town  
 G                            C            G  
Easy to believe you that you never settle down  
 Bm                            C             G  
Mama told your mama just the same not long ago  
 G                    C              G  
You want a baby, the same as your friends  
 G                                C           G  
Ring off on your finger, and your story will end  
 Bm                               C                 G  
You'll be lookin' 'round, wonder where did the time go?

Woah-oh  
Bm         Em        G  
Don't you think I'd know  
Am                Em                 D  
There never was a red light in our town  
Am   D  
Woah-oh  
  Bm      Em     C  
I hate to say I told you so
