[Intro]
[Interlude intro humming]
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm
[Steel guitar turnaround]
[Verse 1]
[M]
You left your ring by the sink
next to the blue dish soap
[F]
I kept the porch light on
like a little bit of hope
[M]
That screen door still hangs
on the same old hinge
[F]
And the whole front step
remembers everything
[Pre-Chorus]
[M]
We were young enough
to think it all would stay
[F]
Now the years roll in
and they won’t look away
[M]
But one thing holds
through the cracks and rust
[F]
You and me, baby
we were built from trust
[Chorus]
[M+F]
Test of time, test of time
Still your hand fits into mine
Test of time, test of time
We keep standing, side by side
[M]
If the world gets rough
[F]
We get stronger
[M+F]
Test of time, test of time
Love don’t break, it bends longer
(Test of time)
[Verse 2]
[F]
Your old boots by the door
got a little more dust
[M]
My flannel’s worn thin
but it still feels like us
[F]
We missed a few turns
took the long way home
[M]
Still every road back
led me where you belong
[Pre-Chorus]
[F]
We were learning slow
what forever means
[M]
Not a fairytale
just the in-between
[F]
But the fire stayed low
[M]
It never died
[F+M]
You and me, baby
kept the flame alive
[Chorus]
[M+F]
Test of time, test of time
Still your hand fits into mine
Test of time, test of time
We keep standing, side by side
[M]
If the world gets rough
[F]
We get stronger
[M+F]
Test of time, test of time
Love don’t break, it bends longer
(Test of time)
[Verse 3]
[M]
There’s a dent in the rail
from that storm in June
[F]
And the old mail slot
still sings your tune
[M]
We patched up the roof
with a prayer and a grin
[F]
Every scar on this place
lets the sunshine in
[Pre-Chorus]
[M]
We were bruised, we were bent
[F]
But we never split
[M]
Every vow got tested
[F]
Every promise fit
[M+F]
What we started then
we still carry now
[M+F]
Ain’t no easy road
but we found it somehow
[Chorus]
[M+F]
Test of time, test of time
Still your hand fits into mine
Test of time, test of time
We keep standing, side by side
[M]
If the world gets rough
[F]
We get stronger
[M+F]
Test of time, test of time
Love don’t break, it bends longer
(Test of time)
[Verse 4]
[F]
At the county fair
we danced in the dirt
[M]
You laughed so hard
you spilled your shirt
[F]
Then the ferris wheel
made us brave for a while
[M]
And I knew right then
I’d keep your smile
[Pre-Chorus]
[F]
Years keep moving
like a river runs
[M]
But I still reach
for your hand when it comes
[F]
If they ask what lasts
[M]
I know what to say
[M+F]
You and me, baby
still choose each day
[Chorus]
[M+F]
Test of time, test of time
Still your hand fits into mine
Test of time, test of time
We keep standing, side by side
[M]
If the world gets rough
[F]
We get stronger
[M+F]
Test of time, test of time
Love don’t break, it bends longer
(Test of time)
[Verse 5]
[M]
So leave that ring
right where it lies
[F]
Keep the porch light burning
through the night
[M]
If the road turns cold
and the hard days call
[F]
I’ll be your home
when the curtains fall
[Bridge]
[M]
[Stratocaster lead solo]
[F]
We were never perfect
[M]
just stubborn and true
[F]
Every mile came back
[M]
to me and to you
[M+F]
And if the world keeps score
let it write what it saw
[M+F]
Two hearts still here
