Verse
G# D# Fm
There's a house just off of halcyon road
C# G# D#
On a mesa overlooking the central coast
G# D# Fm
It's where my grandma and my grandpa both grew old
C# G# D#sus4 D#
And it's always been my home away from home
[Pre-chorus]
G# D#
I grew up playing in the backyard
Fm D#m
Swinging on the swing set
C# G# D#sus4 D#
No idea what the real world was or how crazy it gets
G# D#
Playing hide and seek
Fm
With my cousins in the trees
C# G# D#sus4 D#
No clue then how much it all would mean to me
[Chorus]
G# D# Fm7 Fm C#
I owe it all, I owe it all
G# D#sus4 D#
To the memories in those four walls
G# D# Fm7 Fm C#
I owe it all, I owe it all
G# D#sus4 D# G# D# Fm7 Fm C# G# D#
To the ones who taught me to love big and strong
[Verse 2]
G# D# Fm
On Sunday mornings we would drive down to the beach
C# G# D#
All of us kids piled into the backseat
G# D# Fm
Run up and down the dunes and jump over the creeks
C# G# D#sus4 D#
Since then I don't think I've ever felt so free
[Pre-chorus]
G# D#
Come home and hang out in the parlor
Fm D#m
After the sun went down
C# G#
That old bean bag from the sixties
D#sus4 D#
Was the best seat in the housee
G# D#
Every night by nine o'clock
Fm D#
We'd end up singing Beatles' songs
C# D#sus4 D#
Three part harmonies I swear still linger on
[Chorus]
G# D# Fm7 Fm C#
I owe it all, I owe it all
G# D#sus4 D#
To the memories in those four walls
G# D# Fm7 Fm C#
I owe it all, I owe it all

To the ones who taught me to love big and strong
[Bridge]
C#
When grandpa finally said goodbye
D#
We sat in the living room and cried
G# Fm
And I knew it would never be the same
C#
We took a walk, watched the sunset
D# G# D# Fm D# C# G# D#
And I knew it all would be okay
[Chorus]
G# D# Fm7 Fm C#
I owe it all, I owe it all
G# D#sus4 D#
To the memories in those four walls
G# D# Fm7 Fm C#
I owe it all, I owe it all
G# D#sus4 D# G#
To the ones who taught me to love big and strong
