Verse
C# G# A#m
There's a house just off of halcyon road
F# C# G#
On a mesa overlooking the central coast
C# G# A#m
It's where my grandma and my grandpa both grew old
F# C# G#sus4 G#
And it's always been my home away from home
[Pre-chorus]
C# G#
I grew up playing in the backyard
A#m G#m
Swinging on the swing set
F# C# G#sus4 G#
No idea what the real world was or how crazy it gets
C# G#
Playing hide and seek
A#m
With my cousins in the trees
F# C# G#sus4 G#
No clue then how much it all would mean to me
[Chorus]
C# G# A#m7 A#m F#
I owe it all, I owe it all
C# G#sus4 G#
To the memories in those four walls
C# G# A#m7 A#m F#
I owe it all, I owe it all
C# G#sus4 G# C# G# A#m7 A#m F# C# G#
To the ones who taught me to love big and strong
[Verse 2]
C# G# A#m
On Sunday mornings we would drive down to the beach
F# C# G#
All of us kids piled into the backseat
C# G# A#m
Run up and down the dunes and jump over the creeks
F# C# G#sus4 G#
Since then I don't think I've ever felt so free
[Pre-chorus]
C# G#
Come home and hang out in the parlor
A#m G#m
After the sun went down
F# C#
That old bean bag from the sixties
G#sus4 G#
Was the best seat in the housee
C# G#
Every night by nine o'clock
A#m G#
We'd end up singing Beatles' songs
F# G#sus4 G#
Three part harmonies I swear still linger on
[Chorus]
C# G# A#m7 A#m F#
I owe it all, I owe it all
C# G#sus4 G#
To the memories in those four walls
C# G# A#m7 A#m F#
I owe it all, I owe it all
C# G#sus4 G# C# G# A#m7 A#m F# C# G#
To the ones who taught me to love big and strong
[Bridge]
F#
When grandpa finally said goodbye
G#
We sat in the living room and cried
C# A#m
And I knew it would never be the same
F#
We took a walk, watched the sunset
G# C# G# A#m G# F# C# G#
And I knew it all would be okay
[Chorus]
C# G# A#m7 A#m F#
I owe it all, I owe it all
C# G#sus4 G#
To the memories in those four walls
C# G# A#m7 A#m F#
I owe it all, I owe it all
C# G#sus4 G# C#
To the ones who taught me to love big and strong
