[Intro]
C Em Am
F C G
[Verse 1]
C Em AmThere's a boy -- don't know what he's hidin'
F C GHe's got mother's eyes and his daddy's charm, just the right mix
C Em AmAnd there's a girl -- she knew where to find him
F C GIn the local bar smokin' in the dark, it was perfect timing
[Pre-Chorus 1]
FBut what they both didn't know
Am GIs how far this thing would go
FAnd they might not want the truth
C/G GBut if they do
[Chorus 1]
C EmPlay 'em our home movies
FIf they wonder who I was
Am G Em7 FEven if they don't then play 'em just because
C EmLet 'em see the highlights
FAnd don't forget the lows
Am G Em7 FEverybody's got a story no one knows
Am G Em7 FSo just let 'em play until the credits roll
[Verse 2]
C Em AmThere's a story -- I didn't know we'd write it
F C GHowever long it took, it's an open book if you love surprises
C Em AmThere's a song -- underneath the silence
F C GYou can hear the crowd sing the words out loud in just the right pitch
[Pre-Chorus 2]
FBut what they both didn't know
Am GIs how far this thing would go
FAnd we might not make it through
C/G GBut if we do
[Chorus 2]
C EmPlay 'em our home movies
FIf they wonder who I was
Am G Em7 FEven if they don't then play 'em just because
C EmLet 'em see the highlights
FAnd don't forget the lows
Am G Em7 FEverybody's got a story no one knows
Am G Em7 FSo just let 'em play until the credits roll
[Bridge]
F GThere's nothing I could be without these memories
F Am GEven though they might not show the best of me (oh-ohh)
[Chorus 3]
C EmPlay 'em our home movies
FIf they wonder who I was
Am G Em7 FEven if they don't then play 'em just because (play 'em just because)
C EmLet 'em see the highlights
FAnd don't forget the lows
Am G Em7 FEverybody's got a story no one knows (no one knows)
Am G Em7 FSo just let 'em play until the credits roll
