Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse

 We were 17 and on our own

 When we hit the gas for the great unknown

 I was named for a boy, she was named for the fall

 And nothing much else really mattered at all

Prechorus

 I knew what happened on her kitchen floor

 And she knew what it meant when I wrote on the door

 Secrets spilled into that dark

 And everyone was a piece of my heart

Chorus

 It’s a lullaby

 It’s a beautiful life

 And it sings me to sleep most every night

 So I hold it close

 And I hide it away

 That’s how I keep it from going astray

 Love doesn’t need a rhyme or a reason to be

x2

This is the story of Autumn and me.

*Use the same progressions throughout the song....

Verse

We grew up fast in a few short years

And we littered the path with the tracks of our tears

But we carved our names in the proverbial wall

And nothing much else really matters at all

Prechorus

We earned every line in our 25 years

We cried over boys and we laughed over beers

I wouldn’t trade the girl for a song

She lets me know right where I belong

Chorus

Prechorus

Rooftop dancing in the summer heat

New car crash on a one way street

Strangers moving up to the fourth floor

Strange, now nobody knows me more

Chorus

palm mute the chords):

It’s a lullaby

It’s a beautiful life

And it sings me to sleep most every night

So I hold it close

And I hide it away

That’s how I keep it from going astray

Repeat full chorus

 I was named for a boy, she was named for the fall

 And nothing much else really mattered at all

And you're done! Pretty simple song but fun to sing. No guarantee on the accuracy but

it sounds close to me. The rhythm is weird so good luck to you if you want to play it

exactly the way they do b/c I haven't figured it out yet. Have fun!
