[Intro 1]
[G][Em][D]

[Verse 1]
[A]The parking lot[D]
behind [Em]Oasis [C]Town
Down the street from
[G]the Mexican[A]
Restaurant behind the [Em]Auto-Zone
[C]And And the place that's
hawking [G]payday [A]loans
There's a [D]Kmart and [Em]a KF[C]C
Fitness Center and [G]an [A]Applebees
Wells Fargo and a [Em]Taco Johns
A [C]good time bar to
Get your [G]bad swerve [D]on
[Em]

[Verse 2]
[D]
In a town that's named for
[A]razor [D]blades[Bm][C]
All American [G]but Chinese made
[Asus4]Folks working hard for[Em] shrinking
[C]pay
21st Century, [G]USA

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][D]

[Verse 3]
[A]Out [Asus4]on 90 we [A]might see yo[Em]u pass
[C]We got coal and met[G]hane gas
[A]We got jobs where the
[Em]work is hard
[C]And stores to max out your
[G]credit [D]cards
[Em]

[Verse 4]
[D]
In a town that ain't [A]nowhere [D]nea[A]r[C]
Just like every town, [G]every where
[D]Folks working hard for [A]shrinking
[D]pay
[C][G][C]

[Verse 5]
[G]
Say we have to [C]hang on
just a [G]little bit longer
And a sa[D]vior will come our
[A]way[Asus4][A][C]
We'll know him by the [G]neon sign
And the [D]opulence he [A]maintains
[C]If Amazon can deliv[G]er salvation
I'll [D]order it up on my [A]phone
[C]With big brother watching[G] me always
[Em]Why must I always [D]feel so [A]alone[Bm]
[Em]

[Interlude 2]
[C][G][Asus4]
[Bm][Em][C][G]

[Verse 6]
[A]Men working hard for not
[Em]enough at [C]best
Women working just as hard [G]for less
[A]They get together late at nig[Em]ht at bars
And [C]bang each other like
[G]crashing [Asus4]cars
[A]Working hard but it don't
[Em]seem enough
[C]Calloused hearts make
even [G]love seem tough
[A]Prescription pills to make
the [Em]pain hurt less
Un[C]til your calloused heart
just [G]needs a [D]rest[G]
[Em]

[Verse 7]
[D]Look at your children and
you [A]hope and pray
[C]That they can conjure up a [G]better day
[D]No one remembers how it [A]got that
[Bm]way[C][G][C]
