Measure

Intro: C 


 
C 
You can add up all the acres or the square feet of a house 
C 
The inch marks on the doorframe are probably painted over now 
         F 
But everything about back home that you still treasure 
          C 
You can’t measure 


C 
12 ounces in a cold one, 24 cold ones in a case 
C 
We found out that one too many was the three or four we drank 
    F 
And how much we all laugh when we get back together 
          C 
You can’t measure 

 
         F 
Like how much I miss my grandpa 
      C                  G 
Every time that I’m gone fishing 
    F 
How heaven seems so far away 
    C              G 
But in the end, it isn’t 
       Am            G 
If you wanna know how much I love her 
     F              C/E             Dm7 
Just add up all the days left in forever 
              F                  G                C 
Yeah, all the things that really matter you can’t measure 


C 
It’s not an 8x10 
C 
It’s a memory in a frame 
C 
It’s not how you spend your money 
C 
It’s how you spend your days 
    F 
And how much time you lost when you knew better 
                   C 
No, you just can’t measure 

 
         F 
Like how much I miss my grandpa 
      C                  G 
Every time that I’m gone fishing 
    F 
How heaven seems so far away 
    C              G 
But in the end, it isn’t 
       Am            G 
If you wanna know how much I love her 
     F              C/E             Dm7 
Just add up all the days left in forever 
        F                  G                C 
All the things that really matter you can’t measure 


          F            C          G               Am7 
Yeah, the measure of a man (yeah) six feet in the grave 
             F 
It ain’t how long he lived 
          C                    G                 C   F 
Naw, it’s what he did with the dash between them dates
