G                          A                   D
There's still marks on the pantry door of that little house

G          A              D
Where Mama used to measure us

G            A                        Bm
I'm proud to say that's my home where I was raised

Em                         A 
But that ain't where I grew up

 
      G                         
See, I gained a little on Father Time

D/F#
The summer my Granddaddy died

    A
The first time I saw Mama cry

D                   Em  F#m
Man, that sure was tough
G
Felt like I put on a few years

D         D/C#    G/B
Watching Daddy wipe her tears

      Em                  F#m              G
In my little coat and tie standing in that cemetery mud

A              G      A   D  
That's where I grew up

 

G                 A                       D
My senior year, a case of beer out on the river bank

G              A               D
Getting a head start on twenty one

G                    A                  Bm       G
That's the place that made me feel just like a man
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/k/kenny_chesney/where_i_grew_up_crd.html ]
Em                          A
But that ain't where I grew up

 
G
See I gained a little on Father Time

D/F#
That night I crossed that center line

A     
I bet I rolled a dozen times
D                       Em  F#m  G 
Next thing I knew I was waking up upside down

D        D/C#      G/B
Praying God just get me out

       Em                 F#m                  G
Then I hit my knees beside what was left of my truck

     A                   G
Hey, that's where I grew up
                 A  G                 A
You learn as you go, that's how you grow

 

    G                              
See, I gained a little on Father Time

D/F#
When me and her, had our first big fight

A                         
I said some things, I made her cry

D                    Em  F#m
She packed all her stuff
G                          
The boy in me said let her go

          D        D/C#       G/B
But the man in me said pull her close

        Em     F#m                  G    A
It was time to find out which one I was

         Em           F#m            G    A
Standing in a doorway holding on to love
                    G  A  D             G  A  D 
That's where I grew up oh that’s where I grew up
