[Verse 1]
B
That backstop on the old ballfield's
G#m7 B
Made from grade-F# Pennsylvania steel
E B C#m7 F#
It's been sittin' there since 1951
B
And that Shell's been on the corner
G#m7 B
Since Coke was glass and gas was a quarter
E B C#m7
And that water tower's seen ten thousand suns
[Pre-Chorus]
F# B G#m7
You start thinkin' you can love her that long
F# E B C#m7 F#
And fix you up a little ranch house home
[Chorus]
E B F# E
Some things just keep on gettin' better with time
B F# E
That Chevrolet still tears up clay, but lost its shine
B F# C#m
And she'll crank that radio and sing "Strawberry Wine"
B E
And when you fall in love, there's a cloud of dust
F# B F# G#m7 F# E B C#m7 F#
And a dream that's made of American rust
[Verse 2]
B
And that diamond ring your grandpa gave
G#m7 B
To grandma way back in the day
E B C#m7 F#
Is the one you're bound to use when you find the one
B
And that church bell that they rang back then's
G#m7 B
The same one they'll be ringing when
E B C#m7
You both say that you do until life's done
[Pre-Chorus]
F# B G#m7
And fix you up a little ranch house home
F# E B C#m7 F#
Makin' babies 'til you have to add on and on and on, yeah
[Chorus]
E B F# E
Some things just keep on gettin' better with time
B F# E
That Chevrolet still tears up clay, but lost its shine
B F# C#m
And she'll crank that radio and sing "Strawberry Wine"
B E
And when you fall in love, there's a cloud of dust
F# E
And a dream that's made of American rust
[Bridge]
E F#
Friday night tears, yellow school bus
E
Bud light beers and blue clear skies
F#
Green John Deeres, ain't it just like us
E F#
To stick around here like American rust
E
Mmm, American rust
[Chorus]
E B F# E
Some things just keep on gettin' better with time
B F# E
That Chevrolet still tears up clay, but lost its shine
B F# C#m
And she'll crank that radio and sing "Strawberry Wine"
B E
And when you fall in love, there's a cloud of dust
F# B F# G#m7
And a dream that's made of American rust
F# E
Mmm, American rust
