Gretchen Peters - This Used To Be My Town

CAPO: 3rd Fret

INTRO: Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C

N.C. Fmaj7 C
The altar boys are sneaking cigarettes
Fmaj7 C
The friends and neighbours offering their regrets
Fmaj7 Em Am
The station wagons in the pouring rain
Fmaj7 G
And all that water going down the drain

N.C. Fmaj7 C
A white lace dress for when I turn thirteen
Fmaj7 C
And a bright red stain that wouldn't quite come clean
F Em
Walking by the football field
Am
Trying out my sex appeal
F Csus4 G
While all around the leaves are turning brown
F C F C
This used to be my town

N.C. Fmaj7 C
He waited by the swing-set in the park
Fmaj7 C
He tore at my new raincoat in the dark
F Em
And all that I could think about was
Am F
Getting through and getting out
Csus4 G
And how the night could fall without a sound
F C F C F C F C
This used to be my town

N.C. Fmaj7 C
I'm flying through the clouds as white as snow
Fmaj7 C
I'm looking at the people down below
F Em
The whole world holds its breath for me
Am F
The priest evokes eternity
Csus4 G
And everywhere the rain is pouring down
F C
This used to be my town
F C
This used to be my town
