This Used to Be My Town Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
The [G]altar boys
are sneaking cigar[D]ettes
The friends [G]and neighbors
offering their [D]regrets
[G]The station wagon's in
[F#m]the pouring [Bm]rain
And [G]all that water goin' down
[A]the[Asus4] drain[A]

[Verse 2]
[G]A white lace dress for when I turn thirteen
[D]And a b[G]right red stain that wouldn't
quite come [D]clean[G]
Walking by the football field,
[F#m]trying out my sex ap[Bm]peal
[G]While all around the leaves
are turning [Asus4]brown[A]
This [G]used to be my town

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

[Verse 3]
[G]He waited by the swing
set in [D]the park
[G]He tore at my new raincoat in [D]the dark
[G]And all that I could think about
[F#m]Was getting through an[Bm] d getting out
[G]And how the night could fall
without [Asus4]a sound[A]
This [G]used to be my town

[Interlude 2]
[G][D][G]
[D][G][D]
[G][D][G][D]

[Verse 4]
[G]I'm flying through the clouds
as white [D]as snow[G]
I'm looking at the people
down be[D]low[G]
The whole world holds its breath for me
[F#m]The priest evokes eterni[Bm]ty
[G]And everywhere the rain is pourin'
[A]dow[Asus4]n[A][G][D]
This [G]used to be my town

[Outro 1]
[G][D][G][D][G]
