C You say we're both little people and you like it that way Am But in time I'm gunna put this body to shame (and grow old) F Where a suit like my old man G Pack up all my things and get my tail out of town C We've got it good Am Whether you like this town or not I know it's small but with a big head F it's bound to get hot In the summer But the summer is a bummer G If you can't leave Am This pathetic excuse for a town Am That holds all your memories C A lifetime of crushes and your broken dreams F To be anywhere but here G But baby anywhere is away from me C Am If you got it all figured out F Then what is there to shout about G This midwest town is gunna miss you C Am Just go ahead and work it out F But first come on and let it out G Scream it shout tell everbody that your gunna leave C In about one year you'll have it all figured out Am These big city dream are what you're about F Walking like stangers among these states G Only time will tell how long I can wait C We've got it good Am Whether you like this town or not I know it's small but with a big head F it's bound to get hot In the summer But the summer is a bummer G If you can't leave Am This pathetic excuse for a town Am That holds all your memories C A lifetime of crushes and your broken dreams F To be anywhere but here G But baby anywhere is away from me C Am If you got it all figured out F Then what is there to shout about G This midwest town is gunna miss you C Am Just go ahead and work it out F But first come on and let it out G Scream it shout tell everbody that your gunna leave Am F Me again oh so casually C G Did you take the hit for me or the home team C Am If you got it all figured out F Then what is there to shout about G This midwest town is gunna miss you
