[INTRO]
F G C (x4)
[VERSE 1]
C G Am
I had the notion to put life in motion.
C G Am
Make it breathe. Make it read like an old gospel devotion.
C G Am
But when I close my eyes, surprised to find
C G Am
That what I carry with me is inescapably
[CHORUS]
F C F C
Just like an old song that brings you back home
F Am G F
Like a sweet old melody, you take it with you when you go
F C F C
Like an old song that we’ve all heard before
F Am G F
Gives us peace of mind, takes us back in time before we needed more.
[BREAK]
F G C (x4)
[VERSE 2]
C G Am
I remember the day I lost your voice but could see your face
C G Am
Saying ‘What’s up kid’ with half a smile and a spirit that could stretch half a mile
C G Am
And I mourned you all over again, but I remember when
C G Am
I waited for you patiently so we could sing
[CHORUS]
F C F C
That old song that brings you back home
F Am G F
Like a sweet old melody, you take it with you when you go
F C F C
Like an old song that we’ve all heard before
F Am G F
Gives us peace of mind, takes us back in time before we needed more.

F G C (x4)
[VERSE 3]
C G
We’ve been married for 60 years.
Am C G Am
That’s 22 thousand days of fear and laughter, peace and worry, fighting and making up.
C G Am
And after all that’s changed I still feel the same
C G Am
As that day in 1954 when I said I’d always be yours
[CHORUS]
F C F C
Like an old song that brings you back home
F Am G F
Like a sweet old melody, you take it with you when you go
F C F C
Like an old song that we’ve all heard before
F Am G F
Gives us peace of mind, takes us back in time before we needed more.
[END-CHORUS]
F F C F C
Let me sing it to you like an old song that brings you back home
F Am G F
Like a sweet old melody, you take it with you when you go
F F C F C
Ohhhh just like an old song that we’ve all heard before
F Am G F
Gives us peace of mind, takes us back in time before we needed more.
