Intro 1
(C major) (G major) (A minor) (G major)
(A minor)
Verse 1
Well, I (G major) don't know
Where the cool kids hang
on (A minor) Fri day night
Used to (G major) park our parent's car
by the bill (A minor) board sign
They (C major) tore it down years ago
to build a (G major) small highrise
It's (C major) abandoned now
And it's been that way for a while,
(E minor) sometime

Verse 2
(Dsus4) (D major) It (G major) don't make sense
But the cheap motel is (A minor) al ways open
Seems (G major) like we're sitting
in a handbasket
Wondering (A minor) where it's going
There's a (C major) freshwater shark
in a small fish tank
Behind (G major) the counter
(C major) Door's always locked
And you gotta pre- pay in cash
(E minor) by (C major) the hour (D major)
Verse 3
The sun (C major) sets still look the way
they always (D major) do
(Dsus4) Over (C major) the backyard trees
My grandma used to sit (D major) under
in the (C major) afternoon
And you can't keep everything
the way you (D major) want it
Feels (A minor) like even the ghosts
are getting out (C major)
Giving up on your homet
(G major) own
(A minor) (C major) (G major)
Verse 4
(A minor)
Every (G major) single sunday, 10AM
We were (A minor) in that pew
I was (G major) married there and baptized there
And my (A minor) kids were too
My mother (C major) sang in the women's
choir before (G major) she died
And the (C major) day they sold that church
Even the statue of Mother
(E minor) Mary cried (Dsus4) (D major)
Verse 5
The sun (C major) sets still look the
way they always (D major) do
Over (C major) the backyard trees
My (E minor) grandma (D major) used to sit un
der (Dsus4) in the (C major) afternoon
And you can't keep everything
the way you (D major) want it
Feels (A minor) like even the ghosts
are getting out (C major)
Giving up on your homet (G major) own (A minor)
Giving up on your homet (G major) own (A minor)
Verse 6
(C major) Every kid that's left just kept going
And every debt we didn't pay
(D major) We just keep owing
Never (G major) visit your daddy's grave
(D major) But we go by (A minor) the house
He'd be (G major) working on a car in the driveway
If he was (A minor) with us now
(C major) And that porch swing you built
for your mama
(Dsus4) Is all (G major) but gone
I guess (C major) even when you stay right here
Some (E minor) times you can't
go (Dsus4) home (D major)
Verse 7
Giving up on your homet (G major) own (A minor)
Giving up on your hometown
(G major) (A minor) Giving up on your homet (G major) own
(A minor) (G major)
