(Verse 1 )
We were five years old, he gave me a dime store ring
Plastic gold with a candy heart
I swore I'd love him through everything
But life pulled us, slowly apart
Pre-Chorus
Yeah, time flew by, like a runaway train
He stayed home, while I chased bigger things
.Chorus
Shiny, Pretty Things
City lights and diamond rings
I traded love for limousines
Left behind those small town dreams
Yeah I was chasing, Shiny, Pretty Things

Verse 2
Years later, I came back through town
Thought I'd stop by the old five-and-dime
Didn't expect to see him around
Felt that spark, after all this time
Pre-Chorus
We laughed like time had never passed
He said, "Good to see you home at last"
Chorus
Shiny, Pretty Things
City lights and diamond rings
I traded love for limousines
Left behind those small town dreams
Yeah, I was chasing, Shiny, Pretty Things

(Bridge - guitar chords only)
He said, "I never stopped loving you"
I said, " yeah I feel, that way too"
The noise is gone, truth is clear
I finally see what brought me here

Final Chorus 3 / Outro
Shiny, Pretty Things
Fade like trends, in magazines
But this old ring and a small-town boy
Still fill my heart with quiet joy
While I was chasing Shiny, Pretty Things
I left behind the love they bring
Lord, I missed a love like that
Glad I'm home, glad I'm back
Oohh oohh oohh
So happy I kept that dime store ring
Yeah, so glad I kept my shiny, pretty, dime store ring
