Intro
G D Em D C G Am D
[Verse 1]
G
That backstop on the old ballfield's
Em7 G
Made from grade-D Pennsylvania steel
C G Am7 D
It's been sittin' there since 1951
G
And that Shell's been on the corner
Em7 G
Since Coke was glass and gas was a quarter
C G Am7
And that water tower's seen ten thousand suns
[Pre-Chorus]
D G Em7
You start thinkin' you can love her that long
D C G Am7 D
And fix you up a little ranch house home
[Chorus]
C G D C
Some things just keep on gettin' better with time
G D C
That Chevrolet still tears up clay, but lost its shine
G D Am
And she'll crank that radio and sing "Strawberry Wine"
G C
And when you fall in love, there's a cloud of dust
D G D Em7 D C G Am7 D
And a dream that's made of American rust
[Verse 2]
G
And that diamond ring your grandpa gave
Em7 G
To grandma way back in the day
C G Am7 D
Is the one you're bound to use when you find the one
G
And that church bell that they rang back then's
Em7 G
The same one they'll be ringing when
C G Am7
You both say that you do until life's done
[Pre-Chorus]
D G Em7
And fix you up a little ranch house home
D C G Am7 D
Makin' babies 'til you have to add on and on and on, yeah
[Chorus]

Some things just keep on gettin' better with time

That Chevrolet still tears up clay, but lost its shine
G D Am
And she'll crank that radio and sing "Strawberry Wine"
G C
And when you fall in love, there's a cloud of dust

And a dream that's made of American rust
[Bridge]
C D
Friday night tears, yellow school bus
C
Bud light beers and blue clear skies

Green John Deeres, ain't it just like us
C D
To stick around here like American rust
C
Mmm, American rust
[Chorus]
C G D C
Some things just keep on gettin' better with time

And a dream that's made of American rust

Mmm, American rust
G Am A
