C G
We were 17 and on our own
Dm F
When we hit the gas for the great unknown
C G
I was named for a boy, she was named for the fall
Dm F
And nothing much else really mattered at all
Prechorus:
Dm
I knew what happened on her kitchen floor
F
And she knew what it meant when I wrote on the door
Dm
Secrets spilled into that dark
G
And everyone was a piece of my heart
Chorus:
C
It’s a lullaby
G
It’s a beautiful life
Em F
And it sings me to sleep most every night
C
So I hold it close
G
And I hide it away
Em F
That’s how I keep it from going astray
Dm F
Love doesn’t need a rhyme or a reason to be
C – C – C/B-Dm x2
This is the story of Autumn and me.
Verse2:
C G
We grew up fast in a few short years

And we littered the path with the tracks of our tears

But we carved our names in the proverbial wall
Dm F
And nothing much else really matters at all
Prechorus:
Dm
We earned every line in our 25 years

We cried over boys and we laughed over beers

I wouldn’t trade the girl for a song

She lets me know right where I belong

C
It’s a lullaby

It’s a beautiful life

Strangers moving up to the fourth floor

Strange, now nobody knows me more
