Capo: 1st fret

[Chorus]
Bb F
The hardest part of going home
Bb F
Is facin’ that you’re gettin’ older
Bb F A
And everything you’ve ever known is over

[Post-Chorus]
Bb
Is over, is over, is over

[Verse 1]
Dm C F
Down by the water
Gm Am
Where the auburn leaves were shinin’
Am Dm C F
Holding hands with my father
Gm Am
And I swear I saw him crying

[Pre-Chorus]
Bb F
‘Cause it’s been so long
Bb F
And the day’s soon gone

[Chorus]
Bb F
The hardest part of going home
Bb F
Is facin’ that you’re gettin’ older
Bb F A Bb
And everything you’ve ever known is over, hm
Bb F
And all the paths are overgrown
Bb F
The sun is down, it’s gettin’ colder
Bb F Dm Bb
And everything you’ve ever known is over, is over

[Verse 2]
Bb C F
In your eyes, I see the fire
Gm Am
That so long ago was burnin’
Am Dm C F
Through our smiles, we try to hide it
Gm Am
All the years that we’ve been hurtin’

[Pre-Chorus]
Bb C F
We don’t get too long
Bb F
That’s why I’m holdin’ on

[Chorus]
Bb F
The hardest part of going home
Bb F
Is facin’ that you’re gettin’ older
Bb F A Bb
And everything you’ve ever known is over, hm
Bb F
And all the paths are overgrown
Bb F
The sun is down, it’s gettin’ colder
Bb F Dm Bb
And everything you’ve ever known is over, is over

[Bridge]
Bb
Is over, is over, is over, is over, is over, is over

[Chorus]
Bb F
Yeah, the hardest part of going home
Bb F
Is facin’ that you’re gettin’ older
Bb F A Bb
And everything you’ve ever known is over, is over
Bb F
All the paths are overgrown
Bb F
The sun is down, it’s gettin’ colder
Bb F Dm Bb
(And everything you’ve ever known is over,
is over, is over, is over, is over)

[Outro]
Bb F Bb F Bb F Dm
