paint this town Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][C][G][F][C][G]

[Verse 1]
Ever since I was a [G]young boy
I had a wandering [C]soul
[G]I walked and crawled
across six [F]state [C]lines
[G]By the time I was eight years old
[C]I landed in some cornfield
They called a town on the grow
So I [G]climbed up on that water tower man
But [C]the [G]city was a no show
And [C]that's when I spied
you and we didn't mind
All night truck stops, drive-ins, dives
dives
We [G]were teenage troubadours hopping on
boxcars for a hell of a one-way ride
[C]ride

[Verse 2]
[D]It's just a Waffle House jukebox
My brains are scattered around
But [C]one of these days you
and me babe
We're gonna spill the whole bucket
And paint this [G]town
[F]Paint this [G]town
[F][G]

[Verse 3]
Paint it red and white for Old Glory
Paint it blue for the cops tailing
your old man's Ford
[F]Shimmy [C]up them [G]power lines and
paint some anarchy signs
'Cause that's [C]what [G]you do
when you're fifteen years old
[C]We'll paint it yellow for a w[F]arning
[C]They'll never take us alive
[F]Now [C]we've [G]given our hearts
to this heartbreak city

[Verse 4]
Where farm kids go to make out or die
[D]It's just a Waf[Dm]fle Hou[D]se jukebox
My brains are scattered around
But [C]one of these days you
and me babe
We're gonna spill the whole bucket
And paint this [G]town
[F]Paint [C]this town

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 5]
Now the [G]train don't stop
like it used to
Interstate missed by more than a mile
Still all these trailer park kids
they grow up thinking this
Is a place they will survive
And [C]you and me babe we faded away
Like the yearbook page foretold
Now [G]all I got left is the dirt under my

[Verse 6]
fingernails from we went digging for gold
[Dm]It's just a Wa[D]ffle House jukebox
Bright lights spinning around
But one [C]of these days it just
might light your way
Make you spill the whole damn bucket
And paint this [G]town
[F]Paint [C]this [G]town
[F]Paint [C]this town

[Outro 1]
