Granger Smith – They Were There chords

[Intro]
G        Bm          A

[Verse 1]
        BmWe were here blowin' out birthday cakes
ARidin' our bikes, jumpin' in lakes
EmFeelin' butterflies on our first dates
     D                     AAnd stealin' our old man's beer
        BmWe were here back home in the home of the brave
ABut the brave ain't home, they're an ocean away
EmDoin' their job and keepin' us safe
DWhile we were here

[Chorus]
          GThey were there, fightin' back on the front lines
          BmStrappin' up their boots before the sunrise
AKeepin' their mamas up all night in fear
          GThey were there in the name of a hometown
      BmOf a last name that was passed down
      AEvery day, every night, every moment we were here
          G        BmThey were there
          AThey were there

[Verse 2]
        BmWe were here sayin' the Pledge of Allegiance
ARepeatin' those words, not knowin' their meanin'
EmTakin' for granted all our freedoms
D                  AIn the land of the free
        BmWe were here bitchin' 'bout minimum wage
ASplittin' ourselves into red and blue states
EmAnd still sat down, hot food on the plate
DYeah, while we were here

[Chorus]
          GThey were there, fightin' back on the front lines
          BmStrappin' up their boots before the sunrise
AKeepin' their mamas up all night in fear
          GThey were there in the name of a hometown
      BmOf a last name that was passed down
      AEvery day, every night, every moment we were here
          G        BmThey were there
          AThey were there

[Bridge]
          GThey were there
       Bm              AGivin' everything they got
          GThey were there
          Bm                 ASome came home in a pinewood box
           GWith those stars and stripes on top

[Chorus]
          GThey were there, fightin' back on the front lines
          BmStrappin' up their boots before the sunrise
AKeepin' their mamas up all night in fear
          GThey were there in the name of a hometown
      BmOf a last name that was passed down
      AEvery day, every night, every moment we were here
          G        BmThey were there
          AThey were there
