 7   7   7    7  -6  -6 
Look at this pho-to-graph 
-6  -6  -6 -6 -6 -6  -6   7   -5*
Ev-‘ry-time I do it makes me laugh 
-5* -5* -5*  -5* -5* -3*-3*
How did our eyes get so red 
-3*  -3* -3* -3* -3*-3* -3*  7   7
And what the hell is on Joe-y's head 
-3*  7   7    7   7  -6  -6
And this is where I grew up 
-6  -6  -6   -6  -6  -6  -6  -6   7 -5*
I think the pres-ent own-er fixed it up 
-5*-5*-5* -5*-5*-5*-5* -5*  -3*  -3* 
I nev-er knew we ev-er went with-out 
-3* -3* -3*  -3* -3* -3*  -3*  -3*   7   7
The sec-ond floor is hard for sneak-ing out 
-3*  7    7   7   7 7 -6 -6  -6
And this is where I went to school 
 -6  -6 -6   -6  -6  -6  -6   -6    7 -5*
Most of the time had bet-ter things to do 
-5* -5*-5* -5* -5* -5* -5* -5* -3*  -3*
Crim-i-nal rec-ord says I broke in twice 
-3*-3*  -3*  -3* -3* -3*-3*-3* 7    7
I must have done it half a doz-en times 
-3* 7  7  7   7   -6   -6
I won-der if it's too late 
  -6  -6 -6  -6  -6  -6  -6  -6  7 -5*
Should I go back and try to grad-u-ate 
 -5*   -5* -5* -5* -5* -5* -5*  -3*  -3*
Life's bet-ter now then it was back then 
-3*-3*-3* -3*-3* -3*  -3* -3* 7 7-6-5*
If I was them I would-n't let me in 

(CHORUS) 
-6-5*-5*-3*-3* -3*  -3* -6-5* -5*
Oh, whoa, whoa, Oh, God,  I    I 
-6 -5* -6 -6 -6 -5* -6  -6  -6  -5*  -6   7
Ev-‘ry mem-o-ry of look-ing out the back door 
-6 -6 -6  -6  -6 -6 -5*  -6    -6
I had the pho-to al-bum spread out  
-6 -5* -6   7     7
on the bed-room floor 
 -5*  -6  7  -6 -5*   -6  7  -6 -5*
It's hard to say it, time to say it 
 -5* -67   -5* -6
Good-bye, good-bye. 
-6 -5* -6 -6 -6 -5* -6  -6  -6  -5*  -6    7
Ev-‘ry mem-o-ry of walk-ing out the front door 
-6  -6 -5* -6 -6 -6 -5*   -6
I found a pho-to of the friend  
 -6 -6 -5*  -6   7   7
that I was look-ing for 
-5*   -6  7  -6 -5*   -6  7  -6 -5*
It's hard to say it, time to say it 
 -5* -67   -5* -67
Good-bye, good-bye 

VERSE 2 SAME AS 1 
(Start at: and this is where) 

Remember the old arcade 
Blew every dollar that we ever made 
The cops hated us hangin' out 
They say somebody went and burned it down 
We used to listen to the radio 
And sing along with every song we know 
We said someday we'd find out how it feels 
To sing to more than just the steering wheel 
Kim's the first girl I kissed 
I was so nervous that I nearly missed 
She's had a couple of kids since then 
I haven't seen her since god knows when 

(CHORUS) 
-3*-3*  -5*  -6 -3* -3*  -5*  -6 -5*
I miss that town I miss their fac-es 
-3*  -3* -5* -6  -3*  -3*  -5* -6  -5* 
You can't e-rase You can't re-place it 
-3*-3* -5*-6 -3* -3*  -5* -6  -5* 
I miss it now I can't be-lieve it 
-3* -3* -5* -6  -3*  -3* -5* -6  -5*
So hard to stay too hard to leave it 
-3*7   7   7   7    -6    -6
If I could re-live those days 
-6 -6  -6  -6   -6    -6   -6   -6  7   -5*
I know the one thing that would nev-er change 
-6 -5* -5*  -67   -5* -67-5*
Ev-‘ry good-bye, good-  bye

(CHORUS) 

 7   7   7    7  -6  -6
Look at this pho-to-graph 
-6  -6  -6 -6 -6 -6  -6   7   -5*
Ev-‘ry-time I do it makes me laugh 

-6  -6  -6 -6 -6 -6  -6  -5*
Ev-‘ry-time I do it makes me…

Special thanks to Tin_Man for the lyrics!
