Little heart,
I’d move mountains just to make you stay,
When we’re apart,
Broken promises of empty space,
I’m not in love,
With the face that stares at me each day,
Stop looking up,
Oh I’m humbled by the price we've paid,
Chorus Drop D chords - D F# A then D F# E
Let's get drunk on barleywine,
In the basements of our parents,
In a home we make for you and I,
Let's make up for wasted time,
Every year, I do the same thing,
Take me back to when the world was mine,
Familiar face,
You break my fall each time I find a hole,
Hands lock in place,
Mood's ephemeral and we've been told,
To stay at home,
You get a day or two of different scenes,
You're not alone,
Just fill the void with faces from TV,
Chorus Drop D chords - D (0) F# (4) A (5) then D (0) F# (4) E (2)
Let's get drunk on barleywine,
In the basements of our parents,
In a home we make for you and I,
Let's make up for wasted time,
Every year, I do the same thing,
Take me back to when the world was mine,

BRIDGE WITH LYRICS
You, well you, sat across the table,
Staring at the morning paper,
I was scared to write about this,
Like the liner notes would out me,
You say money's not an issue,
Then just what’s the problem with you,
Grab my keys and motion sideways,
Guessing home ain't where the heart is,
I've been breaking all my boundaries,
Since I moved out from the county,
Maybe that's what builds the difference,
Different ages, different systems,
If you spoke more I would know this,
You're running backwards screaming progress,
Instead of digging deeper ditches,
Drink the wine and burn the witches,
Chorus Drop D chords - D F# A then D F# E
Let's get drunk on barleywine,
In the basements of our parents,
In a home we make for you and I,
Let's make up for wasted time,
Every year, I do the same thing,
Take me back to when the world was mine,
