Capo 1
Intro: C G F G
VERSE
C G
We were 17 and on our own
F G
When we hit the gas for the great unknown
C G
I was named for a boy, she was named for the fall
F G
And nothing much else really mattered at all
PRECHORUS
Am
I knew what happened on her kitchen floor
F
And she knew what it meant when I wrote on the door
Am
Secrets spilled into that dark
F
And everyone was a piece of my heart
CHORUS:
C
It’s a lullaby
G
It’s a beautiful life
F G
And it sings me to sleep most every night
C
So I hold it close
G
And I hide it away
F G
That’s how I keep it from going astray
Am F
Love doesn’t need a rhyme or a reason to be
C G F G x2
This is the story of Autumn and me.
*Use the same progressions throughout the song....
Verse:
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
And nothing much else really matters at all
Prechorus:
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
Chorus
Prechorus:
Rooftop dancing in the summer heat
New car crash on a one way street
Strangers moving up to the fourth floor
Strange, now nobody knows me more
Chorus (palm mute the chords):
It’s a lullaby
It’s a beautiful life
And it sings me to sleep most every night
So I hold it close
And I hide it away
That’s how I keep it from going astray
Repeat full chorus
C G F G
C G
I was named for a boy, she was named for the fall
F G C
And nothing much else really mattered at all
And you're done! Pretty simple song but fun to sing. No guarantee on the accuracy but
it sounds close to me. The rhythm is weird so good luck to you if you want to play it
exactly the way they do b/c I haven't figured it out yet. Have fun!

| So I think that the two girls, (while seventeen) are still in High School. That's why it said they were on their own. Then they come to college, aka, the great unknown. They become roomates and instantly share with each other their lives, they become best friends in a blink of an eye. and while she's 25, they're separate now, they have different lives and have moved away from each other. another clue that this has to do with college is when it says "strangers are moving up to the fourth floor." She'll never forget her roomate in college. And I think before bed everynight Autumn would sing a song. So when she says "sings me to sleep most every night..." that's what is has to do with. This song is sooo amazing. Ah. | |

| I love the line "and she knows what it means what I wrote on the door". My close friends and I have these doors that they sign and write things on everytime they come over. My best friend and I have numerous inside jokes out there. =] This song really relates to her and I. Especially since she moved a couple of years back and we're still very close. | |

| This song is actually about Marti and her best friend Autumn. We discussed how it fits perfectly with my best friend and I and she said she wished she could see Autumn more often, so this song is about the 2 of them. | |
