Intro
A# Gm D# x2
[Verse 1]
A# Gm F*
You went through five schools, before you were 17
A# Gm F*
I can only guess what those brown eyes have seen
A# Gm F*
If we're just a blank slate mixed with a little bit of DNA
A# Gm F*
And those weekend visits when he'd show up late
[Pre-chorus]
D# F
When I feel helpless, I see you smiling back at me
D# F
Like every little thing is gonna be okay
D# F
Ya you're a tough kid, way tougher than me
D# F
I'll put a bet on you any day
[Chorus]
A# Gm D#
Oooh, when your head gets dizzy and you can't get right
A# Gm D#
Oooh, but ya push on through, don't be denied
Dm D#
Shake off those ghosts in every corner of this town
G*
From the clothes on your back, to the colour of your eyes
D#
Ain't no shame in some hand me downs
A# Gm D# A# Gm D#
Ooh, ain't no shame in some hand me downs

[Verse 2]
A# Gm D#
No, it never made sense, but it's the only thing that you know
A# Gm D#
That resentment; well it comes and goes
A# Gm D#
In your daddy's defence, he never really stood a change
A#
You should see where he came from
And how his brothers ended up
Gm D#
We get all stuck, but babe
[Pre-chorus]
D# F
You've been acting reckless, to deal with the pain
D# F
I just hope you don't get carried away
D# F
You wear this necklace, from graduation day
D#
You said "I'll wear this chain, cause I'm breaking it
F N.C.
Yeah, I'll wear this chain, cause I'm breaking it"
[Chorus]
A# Gm D#
Oooh, when your head gets dizzy and you can't get right
A# Gm D#
Oooh, but ya push on through, don't be denied
Dm D#
Shake off those ghosts in every corner of this town
G*
From the clothes on your back, to the colour of your eyes
D#
Ain't no shame in some hand me downs
A# Gm D# A# Gm D#
Ooh, ain't no shame in some hand me downs

[Bridge]
Cm A#
First of the month, gets you stressed out
Cm Dm
And moving trucks, bring you right back
Cm A# Gm7 A# D#
Deep in the cut, there's a voice that's calling out, saying:
F
"It's out of reach but I gotta keep chasing
F
It's out of reach but I gotta keep chasing
F
It's out of reach but I gotta keep chasing
F
It's out of reach but I gotta keep chasing"
