Neck Deep - 19 Seventy Sumthin

      I did my best to line up the chord changes with the lyrics, but realize that the chords
often changein between words or on the second syllable of words and won't line up nice and neat.

** = play chord once

* = palm mute and play quarter notes

[Verse 1]
                A
Let's start it here
                 E       A
Back in nineteen-seventy-sumthin'
            Bm         F#m
I can't pin down the year
                 C#m    D
When the romance wasn't dead
               E         A
And love still stood for something
                         E         A
There was a girl who had lost  her way
                       Bm     F#m
She blushed red when he came over
                     C#m    D
And they danced the night away
                  E         A
And he sung as he drove her home and
                  E           A
It was there that she would say
                Bm      F#m
If I could than I would save you
                   C#m     D
And he smiled and turned away
                             B
In six weeks they're saying "I do"
D                   D **                 A
Oh, Love just don't go that way no more


[Chorus]
             F#m              C#m
And like the seed becomes the tree
            E             A
We'll take shape of a family
   F#m               C#m
We grow and we change
              E                         A
And face the rain like you wouldn't believe
               F#m
And through it all
               C#m
We're standing tall
         E                  A
And I just don't say it enough
    F#m    C#m
If not for you,
        E                       A
No, we wouldn't be standing at all

A  E  A

[Verse 2]
                        E    A
And now it's nineteen-ninety-sumthin'
                    Bm       F#m
How the hell did we end up here?
                 C#m        D
Four kids and a few jobs later
                  E          A
And the pictures fill the pages
                    E          A
It's been hard, oh it's been hard
                            Bm    F#m
But you'd be a fool to give it up
                      C#m       D                       E        A
'Cause you know that what we've got is bigger than the two of us
                        E      A
It's been hard, oh it's been hard
                         Bm       F#m
But it's bigger than the two of us
                       C#m  D
And I will hold you in my arms
                     E       B   D
When you feel like giving up
                D **                 A
Love just don't go that way no more


[Chorus]

             F#m              C#m
And like the seed becomes the tree
            E             A
We'll take shape of a family
   F#m               C#m
We grow and we change
              E                         A
And face the rain like you wouldn't believe
               F#m
And through it all
               C#m
We're standing tall
         E                  A
And I just don't say it enough
    F#m    C#m
If not for you,
        E                       A
No, we wouldn't be standing at all


[Verse 3]
                     E         A
And now its two-thousand-and-sumthin'
            Bm      F#m
We made it here my dear
                   C#m      D
Grandkids and the mortgage paid off
               E        A
Is this what dreams are made of?
                E      A
'Cause baby we made it
               Bm     F#m
Yeah baby you saved me
                   C#m   D
But nothing could save him
                        Bm *
From the ambulance that day
         E *      F#m *
When he went away
               E *     D *
The heart attack was sharp
           E *    F#m *
He didn't feel no pain
        A *       E *        D *
If you saw him now then what
      E *      F#m *
What would you say?
            E *   D *
I love you and I miss you
   E *          F#m *
I owe you everything
       A **     E **      B **            D **
And I hope you know you saved me (saved me!)

[Verse 4]
         E   A
Oh mother
         Bm         F#m
Mother please don't cry
                  C#m      D
'Cause you know I miss him too
                 E      A
I didn't even say goodbye
                        E   A
And though he's gone, I know he's gone
                 Bm   F#m
He lives on in all of us
                    C#m       D
And I will hold you when you cry
        D **                        A   E   A
'Cause that's what he would have done
                  Bm             F#m   C#m  D
Yeah, that's what he would have done
                   E             A
Yeah, that's what he would have done
                    E         A
It's been hard, oh it's been hard
                    Bm    F#m
But he's a part of all of us
                     C#m       D
And I will hold you when you cry
                      E    A **
'Cause that's what family does
