[Verse 1]
C G Em
It smells like it should be snowing, and I've been frequenting a diner on Main Street
Am G F
Where the waitresses are girls that graduated with me
G Am
Have problems with Oxy and can't recall what I had to drink
C G Em
No one knows where they're going, they just know they want out of here badly
Am G F G
Like cigarettes dropped on a highway. They'll smash, scatter and burn out
Am
Somewhere else without knowing.
[Pre-Chorus]
F C G
I've got my Grandmother's veins in the back of my hands and just a hint of the South Philly accent.
F C G
I was born here, I'll probably die here. Let's go home.
[Chorus]
F C G Am G
This town's got lies to tell. I'll wait around to hear you out but
F C G
I can't keep from digging up these bones forever.
F C G Am G
At least for now I'll settle down. I'll try to find some solid ground.
F C G
I lost my footing trying to get home last winter.
[Verse 2]
C G Em Am G F G
The kids in the graduating class have got their eyes set west, and California on their lips
Am C
But I left some blood there that I'm never getting back.
G Em Am G F
Rocky's in the Deep South. I don't think he's coming back now.
G Am
It's sinister, but it's how life worked out.
[Pre-Chorus]
F C G
I've got my Grandmother's veins in the back of my hands and just a hint of the South Philly accent.
F C G
I was born here, I'll probably die here. Let's go home.
[Chorus]
F C G Am G
This town's got lies to tell. I'll wait around to hear you out but
F C G
I can't keep from digging up these bones forever.
F C G Am G
At least for now I'll settle down. I'll try to find some solid ground.

[Bridge]
F Am G F
Growing up means watching my heroes turn human in front of me
Am G F
And the songs we wrote at eighteen seem short-sighted and naïve
Am G
So when the weather breaks I'll pull my hoodie up over my face
F Am
I won't run away, run away.
G
Cause as fucked as this place got it made me, me
[Guitar Solo]
F C G Am G
F C G
[Chorus]
F C G Am G
This town's got lies to tell. I'll wait around to hear you out but
F C G
I can't keep from digging up these bones forever.
F C G Am G
At least for now I'll settle down. I'll try to find some solid ground.
F C G
I lost my footing trying to get home last winter
[Outro]
