Intro
A# F Gm F D# A# Cm F
[Verse 1]
A#
That backstop on the old ballfield's
Gm7 A#
Made from grade-F Pennsylvania steel
D# A# Cm7 F
It's been sittin' there since 1951
A#
And that Shell's been on the corner
Gm7 A#
Since Coke was glass and gas was a quarter
D# A# Cm7
And that water tower's seen ten thousand suns
[Pre-Chorus]
F A# Gm7
You start thinkin' you can love her that long
F D# A# Cm7 F
And fix you up a little ranch house home
[Chorus]
D# A# F D#
Some things just keep on gettin' better with time
A# F D#
That Chevrolet still tears up clay, but lost its shine
A# F Cm
And she'll crank that radio and sing "Strawberry Wine"
A# D#
And when you fall in love, there's a cloud of dust
F A# F Gm7 F D# A# Cm7 F
And a dream that's made of American rust
[Verse 2]
A#
And that diamond ring your grandpa gave
Gm7 A#
To grandma way back in the day
D# A# Cm7 F
Is the one you're bound to use when you find the one
A#
And that church bell that they rang back then's
Gm7 A#
The same one they'll be ringing when
D# A# Cm7
You both say that you do until life's done
[Pre-Chorus]
F A# Gm7
And fix you up a little ranch house home
F D# A# Cm7 F
Makin' babies 'til you have to add on and on and on, yeah
[Chorus]
D# A# F D#
Some things just keep on gettin' better with time
A# F D#
That Chevrolet still tears up clay, but lost its shine
A# F Cm
And she'll crank that radio and sing "Strawberry Wine"
A# D#
And when you fall in love, there's a cloud of dust
F D#
And a dream that's made of American rust
[Bridge]
D# F
Friday night tears, yellow school bus
D#
Bud light beers and blue clear skies
F
Green John Deeres, ain't it just like us
D# F
To stick around here like American rust
D#
Mmm, American rust
[Chorus]
D# A# F D#
Some things just keep on gettin' better with time
A# F D#
That Chevrolet still tears up clay, but lost its shine
A# F Cm
And she'll crank that radio and sing "Strawberry Wine"
A# D#
And when you fall in love, there's a cloud of dust
F A# F Gm7
And a dream that's made of American rust
F D#
Mmm, American rust
