[Intro]
C Am F
[Verse 1]
C Em F*
You went through five schools, before you were 17
C Em F*
I can only guess what those brown eyes have seen
C Em F*
If we're just a blank slate mixed with a little bit of DNA
C Em F*
And those weekend visits when he'd show up late
F / G
When I feel helpless, I see you smiling back at me
F / G
Like every little thing is gonna be okay
F / G
Ya you're a tough kid, way tougher than me
F / G
I'll put a bet on you any day
[Chorus]
C Em F
Oooh, when your head gets dizzy and you can't get right
C Em F
Oooh, but ya push on through, don't be denied
Em F
Shake off those ghosts in every corner of this town
G*
From the clothes on your back, to the colour of your eyes
F
Ain't no shame in some hand me downs
C Em F
Ooh, Ain't no shame in some hand me downs

[Verse 2]
C Em F
No, It never made sense, but it's the only thing that you know
C Em F
That resentment; well it comes and goes
C Em F
In your daddy's defence, he never really stood a change
C
You should see where he came from
And how his brothers ended up
Em F
We get all stuck, but babe
[Verse 3]
F / G
You've been acting reckless, to deal with the pain
F / G
I just hope you don't get carried away
F / G
You wear this necklace, from graduation day
F
You said "I'll wear this chain, cause I'm breaking it
Yeah, I'll wear this chain, cause I'm breaking it"
[Chorus]
C Em F
Oooh, when your head gets dizzy and you can't get right
C Em F
Oooh, but ya push on through, don't be denied
Em F
Shake off those ghosts in every corner of this town
G*
From the clothes on your back, to the colour of your eyes
F
Ain't no shame in some hand me downs
C Em F
Ooh, Ain't no shame in some hand me downs

[Bridge]
Dm C
First of the month, gets you stressed out
Dm Em
And moving trucks, bring you right back
Dm C F
Deep in the cut, there's a voice that's calling out, saying:
G
"It's out of reach but I gotta keep chasing
G
It's out of reach but I gotta keep chasing
G
It's out of reach but I gotta keep chasing
G
It's out of reach but I gotta keep chasing"
