[Intro 1]
[D][A][D]
[Gsus2][D][Gsus2][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Well,
I want a home [G]on the outskirts [D]of town
[G]Come around sun[D]down to hea[A]r the sound
[D]Kids and the crickets under
[G]pinky ski[D]es[G]
Swing [D]on by [A]'cause
we're drinking [D]tonight

[Verse 2]
[D]
Well, in my mind, [G]trees line [D]the drive
[G]There's a kind,
loving [D]lady barely [A]laughing inside
[D]And in the morning while
[G]we're drinking [D]brew
She'll say, "The city ain't nothing
[A]like the outskirts with you"
[D]

[Verse 3]
And [G]fireflies [D]and some scheming eyes
Will turn this [A]house into a [G]home
Then we'll grin in [D]the driveway
Hell, your [A]smile outdoes [Bm]the dawn
[G]Hold [D]on, hope is on [A]the[Bm] way
Oh, I [G]swear [D]to God
I'll take you to the [A]outskirts [G]one day

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][D][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 4]
Well, I want a [D]home on the
out[G]skirts of town
[D]Where the[G] wind chimes sin[D]g
to [A]the porch swing [D]crowd
June into August, Au[G]gust [D]to May
With [G]the sun beating [D]down or
[A]the snow in the way
[D]

[Verse 5]
The smell of fresh cut [G]grass in [D]the yard
I don't [G]care who [D]you are,
drink [A]a fifth, bring your [D]heart
You put down the tail[A]gate,
I'll [G]put down a tun[D]e
'Cause [G]out in [D]the 'skirts we move
[A]and shake with the moon
[D]

[Verse 6]
[G]With fire[D]flies and
some scheming eyes
We'll turn this [A]house into a [G]home
Then we'll grin in [D]the driveway
Hell, your [A]smile outdoes
[Bm]the dawn
[G]Hold [D]on, hope is on [A]the[Bm] way
Oh, I [G]swear [D]to God
I'll take you to the [A]outskirts [Bm]one day
Oh, I [G]swear to [D]God
I'll take you to the [A]outskirts one day
[Bm]

[Verse 7]
With [G]fireflies and some schem
[D]ing eyes
We'll turn this [A]house into a [G]home
Then we'll grin in the [D]driveway
Hell, your [A]smile outdoes
[Bm]the dawn
[G]Hold [D]on, hope is on [A]the way[Bm]
Oh, I [G]swear to [D]God
We'll make it to the [A]outskirts [Bm]one day
Oh, I [G]swear [D]to God
We'll make it to the [A]outskirts [Bm]one day
