Gretchen Peters - This Town
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G C (4x) G
C
This town is a lot like me
G C
Sadder and wiser than it used to be
G C
A little sprawled out, a little rundown
G C G
I wonder what's gonna become of this town
C
This town has its highs and lows
G C
And a hole in the middle where nobody goes
G C
People come through, but they don't hang around
G C G
Nobody wants to get to the heart of this town
C
But this town has its own sweet charms
G C
Open your heart and it'll open its arms
G C
Take you by the hand and show you around
G C G
There's still a lot of life left in this town
CHORUS:
Em C G D
All that I can see is lovers kissing in the street
Em C D
Swaying to the beat of a rusty radio
Em C G D
And all that I can hear is another late night symphony
Em C D
The sound of traffic moving like an undertow
INSTRUMENTAL: G C (3x) G
C G
This town can't get no rest
C
Everybody thinks that they know best
G C
They're either building it up or they're tearing it down
G C G
They can't seem to love it like it is, this town
CHORUS:
Em C G D
All I wanna do_ tonight is kiss you in the street
Em C D
Swaying to the beat of a rusty radio
Em C G D
And all I wanna do_ is feel your arms around me too
Em C D G
Pulling on my body like an undertow
C
This town is a lot like me
G C
A little coat of paint and some TLC
G C
And she'll light right up if you come around
G C G C G
You know that you never wanna leave this town
C G C
You know that you never wanna leave this town
