             C
And I`d tear out the pages
                G
That I`ve got in these books
            C
Just to find you some words
                 G
Just to get some reward

And I`ll show you all the photographs
That I ever got took
And I`ll play you old 45`s
That now mean nothing to me

                        Bm                  
And you`re a real gone kid
         C
And maybe now baby
Bm
Maybe now baby
C
Maybe now baby
G
I`ll do what I should have did

Now I`ve stood on your shadow
And I`ve watched it grow
And it`s shaken and it`s driven me
And let me know
Let me know let me know let me know

About all the old 45s
And the paperback rooms
And it`s scattered all the photographs
Of summers and suns

And you`re a real gone kid
And maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
I`ll do what I should have did

C
Kid

I cried and I craved
Hoped and I saved
And I put away those souvenirs souvenirs souvenirs
Cried and I craved
Hoped and I saved
And I put away those souvenirs souvenirs souvenirs

You`re a real gone kid
And maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
I`ll do what I should have did
