Hand Me Downs

Intro: 
D  G  D  G 


 
D                               G 
My first bike had a banana seat on it 
       D                             G 
Bright orange with a sunshine on the side 
    D                                       G  D 
The handle bent and my cousin didn't want it 
                            G      D  G 
So that summer I learned to ride, mm 
 

 
          D                               G 
There's a worn-out denim pearl snap in my closet 
       D                              G 
When I got it, it was already getting old 
D 
The bottom's frayed and the color's gone 
         G                          D 
Even the hanger that it's hanging on is wishing I would let it go 
G 
  Like some other things I know 
 

 
        Bm            A 
Daddy's anger and his pride 
          G 
My mama's sadness she taught me how to hide 
              Bm                               A 
There ain't a damn thing that's ever just been mine 
                      G                D     G  D  G 
I'm out here walking around in hand-me-downs 
 

 
D                              G 
I'm a wrecking ball when I get lonely 
D                            G 
Courtesy of my old man's old man, and his old man 
         D                                 G 
And that ain't the kind of heirloom that I wanted 
                         D                             G 
Oh, and don't it make me think I'm only made of broken things that I can't stand 
 

 
             Bm            A 
Like Daddy's anger and his pride 
          G 
My mama's sadness she taught me how to hide 
              Bm                               A 
There ain't a damn thing that's ever just been mine 
                      G                     D     G  D  G 
I'm out here walking around, oh, in hand-me-downs 
 

 
        Bm                              A 
Oh, and damn it, it's gonna take a long time 
                       G 
But if I can just understand it and leave something better behind 
                  Bm                          A 
And if that's the only thing that's ever just mine 
                         G                      D  G 
They won't put me in the ground, oh, in hand-me-downs 
        D     G 
Hand-me-downs 
 

Outro: 
               D  G 
Oh, in hand-me-downs 
        D     G 
Hand-me-downs
