Intro

verse 1 
C                       G 
That song reminds me of summers 
              Am                       G 
Of family, of backyards, of you and me 
C                              G 
If I went back there, straight back 
                     Am                  G 
To the place where I wondered what we could be 

    C 
I'd laugh 
              G 
Who'd have thought? 
              Am       G 
Who'd have thought? 

verse 2 
C                       G 
That song reminds me of Newhart of 90s 
   Am               G 
Of petty, and heavy things 
C                     G 
I still remember what life was like back then 
Am                      G 
Before I had learned to speak 

    C 
I'd hide 
        G             Am        G 
Sing it out, sing it out 
C        G           Am        G 
Sing it out, sing it out 

  F                G 
I felt it all, the kissing and fighting 
  F                G 
I know the cost, I stayed home on New Year's Eve 
F      C        G 
All in all, I'd rather be right here than 
F       C       G 
Falling off the pages of history 

F    G                F 
Hmm, pages of history 
  G 
Hmm 

verse 3 
C                  G 
If I remind you of childhood, of memories 
   Am                     G 
Of times both bitter and sweet 
C                             G 
Let's take that feeling right here to this moment 
    Am              G 
And sow it into the seams 

   C 
My love 
        G            Am       G 
Hold it all, hold it all 
C       G            Am       G 
Hold it all, hold it all 
 
  F                G 
I felt it all, the kissing and fighting 
  F                G 
I know the cost, I stayed home on New Year's Eve 
F      C        G 
All in all, I'd rather be right here than 
F       C       G 
Falling off the pages of history 

F    C 

    G                 F      C 
Oh, pages of history 
    G 
Oh, pages of history 
F     G 
Hmm
