[Verse 1]
[G]Fro[C]m t[G]he [C]hea[G]rt[C][G][C][G]
[Csus2]of the So[G]uthern Downs,[C]
[G]to the Nor[C]th-East London Lon[D]don res[G]ervoi[C]rs,
[G]From the[Csus2] start, the[G] land scaped my sound,
[Csus2]before I'[G]d ever been to[C] Amer[D]ica.[G][C][G]

[Verse 2]
And if [C]I knew anyb[D]ody who
played [G]pedal [D]steel gui[C]tar,
I'd get them in my [D]band and then
my [G]band would get [D]real [C]far,
But I was raised in middle [B]England,
and not [Em]in Nashville [D]Tenness[C]ee,
And the only person in [D]my band is me.

[Verse 3]
[C]A s[G]imp[C]le [G]scale on a[C]n old [G]guitar,
[C]and[G] a punk r[C]ock sense [D]of honest[G]y.[C][G]
I cannot [C]fail, [G]I've got this far[Csus2] with no[G]
[C]know[G]ledge [D]of mid-west geography.

[Verse 4]
[G]geo[C]graphy.[G]
And if [C]I knew a[D]nywhere where
I could [G]drive in [D]a straight [C]line
For hours in the deser[D]t,
I'd drive for [G]hours [D]at a time.
[C]But I was raised in middle Eng[B]land,
not [Em]in Nashville [D]Tenness[C]ee,
And the only person [D]in this car is [G]me.[C][G]

[Verse 5]
[Am]And yes I'm in four-[C]four time, time,[G]
and yes I use [D]cheap cheap [Am]rhymes,
But I try to make a [C]sound my
[G]own.[Csus2][G][Am]
I know I don't [C]break new [G]ground,
many have [D]travelled this sound,
[Am]But I try to make it sound[C] like
[G]home.[C][G]
[C][G][C][D]

[Verse 6]
[G]
Well I've been to Texas state,
I didn't think it was that fucking great,
And [C]Nebraska is just a bunch [D]of songs,
Holloway and [Em]Hampshire where I belong.
[A]And I don[C]'t know anybod[D]y
who plays [G]pedal [D]steel gui[C]tar,
All the city roads are twis
[D]ted and I do [G]not [D]own [C]a car.
I was raised in middle [B]England,
not in [Em]Nashville [D]Tenness[C]ee,
And the only thing I'm [D]offering

[Outro 1]
is me.
