Tom: Em
G
[Verse 1]
G
Eggshell white
D
Paint in your hair
C
Dirt beneath your nails
G
Years on the back of your hands
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
Some things can wash clean
D C
And some, will stick around
[Verse 2]
G
Blades of St. Augustine
D
Scattered across the driveway
C
It still feels like Sunday
G
When I hear a cajun band
[Chorus]
Em
Every chamber of my heart,
C
bears the mark
G
Of what I come from
Em
Sometimes our world falls apart
C G
But I guess that’s what it takes
D C
To find the part that cannot break
[Verse 3]
G
Wooden table on a concrete slab
D
The fish were red and the crabs were blue
C
Every five gallon bucket
G
Carries a piece of you
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
Some things can wash clean
D C
And some, will stick around
[Verse 4]
G
Spilt beer and a deck of cards
D
An old bed sheet for a tablecloth
C
Some of those days are lost
G
But most I still come across
[Chorus]
Em
Every chamber of my heart,
C
bears the mark
G
Of what I come from
Em
Sometimes our world falls apart
C G
But I guess that’s what it takes
D C
To find the part that cannot break
[Bridge]
Em C
I come from hard work
G D
I come from never giving up I come from you
C G
I built cities from sidewalk chalk
D Em
Sailed the world in a cardboard boat
C G D
I hope I always dream that big
C G
I put the whole damn kitchen
B7 Em
In every pot of cold mud soup
C G D
I hope I always put everything I got
D
Into what I do
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
Some things can wash clean
D C
And some, will stick around
[Chorus]
Em
Every chamber of my heart,
C
bears the mark
G
Of what I come from
Em
Sometimes our world falls apart
C G
But I guess that’s what it takes
D C
To find the part that cannot break
[Outro]
G
We cannot break
