little town Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]It's nothing that you did,
you gotta understand
[Em]You're taking it too f[F]ast,
it's [G]going way too [C]fast
It's nothing that you [Am]did,
it's not the color of your [F]skin
The one thing you should [C]know,
you gotta take [G]it slow
[F]What they call the shifting of the sand
[G]s I see as your deman[Am]ds
When you change you can't ignore
[F]What things are and were before
[C]

[Verse 2]
My [F]family has been [G]here
for gener[C]ations
And [F]now I have two [G]children of my [C]own
And I [Bb]knew that I would [Am]stay here,
[Bb]always knew I'd [Am]stay here
It's not a new world that you [G]found
It's just a little town
[F]

[Verse 3]
Everybody [Am]knows who was
born [Em]and raised here
The mayor is my [F]friend,
I've [G]known him all my [C]life
Each year he [Am]and I plan the Fourth of [F]July
So why'd he ask you [C]too? You,
especially [G]you?
[F]He said this town, for all its[G] pride,
it's been dying from in[Am]side
And we've got to find our way
[F]We'll start with Independence Day[C]

[Verse 4]
And as [F]the fireworks came [G]up
above the moun[C]tain
[F]I saw you put your [G]hand up to your [Am]heart
And [Bb]I saw the mayor watch[Am]ing,
[Bb]knew my kids were [Am]watching
Hope that I would come [G]around
Big parade, little [F]town

[Verse 5]
[F]
Now the months come after [G]months
and every [Am]Fourth of Ju[Em]ly
We [F]help our children [G]putting
all [Am]the flags on [Em]the line
[F]Up and down the Main [G]Street,
every [Am]country that [Em]we're from
Like the [Bb]mayor always [Am]wanted
He's [Bb]been gone for sev
[Am]en years now
[G]

[Verse 6]
It's quiet by [Am]the lake,
walking with our [Em]dog s
How long has [F]it been,
oh it's been [G]a long time [C]now
We talk about [Am]this town,
you're the mayor of it [F]now
They're all moving [C]here,
everyone comes [G]here
We [F]like to say we don't
get out that [G]much
'Cause the whole world
comes to [Am]us
We can't blame them now, we [F]say,
we are just a little [C]great[F]
And you know that I'm not proud
[G]Those things I dared to say out lou[Am]d
But you wave it all [F]away, my friend,
you wave it all [C]away

[Verse 7]
But [F]my kids,
they went [G]off in all direc[C]tions
And I know [F]it's thanks [G]to you
they have re[Am]turned
They have [Bb]all this under[Am]standing,
[Bb]all this under[Am]standing
They have been the world [G]around
And they came back to our
