Outskirts Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]There's so much goin' on in this town
To keep me busy, I've been runnin' a[C]round
Up and down all these avenues
Doin' everything but thinking 'bout [G]you
As long as I stay on 'em, I'm fine
The city side of those city limit [C]signs
You don't really cross my mind

[Chorus 1]
But soon as I get out here on the [C]outskirts
I wish I was runnin' by your house first
Something 'bout a summer in the [G]South, sure
Shines like gold down these old
[Em]Round bail [Bm]river valley [C]backroads
Way back in the holler where the grass grows
God almighty, [D]baby, we were [Em]that close
To ditchin' this town and [D]settlin' down
[Bm]Out here on the [C]outskirts

[Verse 2]
[G]If I'd have had a lick of damn sense
I'd be on the greener side of that [C]fence
Little starter house we've finally outgrown
Twelve-hundred feet
we're 'bout to add [G]on
Smilin' out there watchin' them
Big ol' yellow buckets 'bout to break [C]ground
While you're shootin' all my baby names down

[Chorus 2]
But soon as I get out here on the [C]outskirts
I wish I was runnin' by your house first
Something 'bout a summer in the [G]South, sure
Shines like gold down these old
[Em]Round bail [Bm]river valley [C]backroads
Way back in the holler where the grass grows
God almighty, [D]baby, we were [Em]that close
To ditchin' this town and [D]settlin' down
[Bm]Out here on the [C]outskirts

[Bridge 1]
I'm over all these Saturday [G]nights
I miss the stars in your [D]eyes

[Chorus 3]
We were gonna give up on the [C]fast life
Have a couple babies, raise 'em up right
Take 'em to the river, get 'em [G]baptized
Back in our day, if I'd have just stayed
[Em]I wouldn't be li[Bm]vin' in this con[C]do
Hangin' out with Hailey from Toronto
God almighty, [D]baby, we were [Em]that close
To ditchin' uptown, [D]puttin' roots down
[Bm]Out here on the
