Verse
E B C#m
There's a house just off of halcyon road
A E B
On a mesa overlooking the central coast
E B C#m
It's where my grandma and my grandpa both grew old
A E Bsus4 B
And it's always been my home away from home
[Pre-chorus]
E B
I grew up playing in the backyard
C#m Bm
Swinging on the swing set
A E Bsus4 B
No idea what the real world was or how crazy it gets
E B
Playing hide and seek
C#m
With my cousins in the trees
A E Bsus4 B
No clue then how much it all would mean to me
[Chorus]
E B C#m7 C#m A
I owe it all, I owe it all
E Bsus4 B
To the memories in those four walls
E B C#m7 C#m A
I owe it all, I owe it all
E Bsus4 B E B C#m7 C#m A E B
To the ones who taught me to love big and strong
[Verse 2]
E B C#m
On Sunday mornings we would drive down to the beach
A E B
All of us kids piled into the backseat
E B C#m
Run up and down the dunes and jump over the creeks
A E Bsus4 B
Since then I don't think I've ever felt so free
[Pre-chorus]
E B
Come home and hang out in the parlor
C#m Bm
After the sun went down
A E
That old bean bag from the sixties
Bsus4 B
Was the best seat in the housee
E B
Every night by nine o'clock
C#m B
We'd end up singing Beatles' songs
A Bsus4 B
Three part harmonies I swear still linger on
[Chorus]
E B C#m7 C#m A
I owe it all, I owe it all
E Bsus4 B
To the memories in those four walls

I owe it all, I owe it all

To the ones who taught me to love big and strong
[Bridge]
A
When grandpa finally said goodbye
B
We sat in the living room and cried
E C#m
And I knew it would never be the same
A
We took a walk, watched the sunset
B E B C#m B A E B
And I knew it all would be okay
[Chorus]
E B C#m7 C#m A
I owe it all, I owe it all
E Bsus4 B
To the memories in those four walls
E B C#m7 C#m A
I owe it all, I owe it all
E Bsus4 B E
To the ones who taught me to love big and strong
