Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
              F
Hand-me-down dreams got me high in the
 C
rafters
            G
Homecoming queen couldn't be an
  Am
outsider
             F                     C
So there I'd?sit,?with a cigarette?lit,
              G
in a leather jacket
          F                      C
I found?a boy who was a stranger too
                 G                Am
In a one-horse town?at?a?table for two
                F
We'had matching scars?and matching
C

tattoos
              G
Both dyin' to fit in
           F    C    G
Ain't that some shit?
                           F  C   G
We're just small town hypocrites


Verse 2:
                 F
And that scholarship was a ship that
C
sailed
              G                     Am
When I chose you and daddy gave me hell
            F                 C
I made myself into someone else just to
     G
love you, damn, I loved you
              F
Took all my plans and I put 'em in a
C
box
           G                   Am
Phantom pains for the wings I lost
                F                 C
Had me circling rings in the catalogs
         G
For seven years, and you never got the hint
            F    C    G
Ain't that some shit?
                          F  C  G
I'm just a small town hypocrite


Chorus:
                F                    C
Swore we'd be running, running, running
      G
this town
                 F
But you're just running, running,
C        G
running around
                      F        C
And I'm staring at a picket fence
                     G         Am
Wonderin' where the hell time went
                   F
I should've been running, running,
 C         G
running by now
              F   C   G  Am
But I just hang around

F  C  G  Am
Oooooh


Verse 3:
           F               C
Love shot me out like a rocket
           G                   Am
Never to return, and man, I forgot it
           F                 C
How it feels to fall from orbit and
    G
land on shifting sands
              F
I found my heart at the bottom of a
 C
bookcase
                     G
You said you needed space, and damnit,
     Am
I bought it
                 F
'Til you moved in a vinyl-sided
   C                 G
double-wide with a couple of her kids
              F   C  G
Ain't that some shit?
                             F  C  G
You're just a small town hypocrite


Chorus:
               F                 C
Swore we'd be running, running, running
     G
this town
                 F
But you're still running, running,
  C           G
running around
                     F           C
And I'm staring at a picket fence
                      G           Am
Wonderin' where the hell time went
                    F
I should've been running, running,
 C         G
running by now
           F   C   G
But I just hang around

F  C  G


Outro:
            F                   C
Oh, now I bitch about how things turned
        G
and how they should've been
     F                  C
The bridges that I burned and the
     G
trains I didn't catch
                      F  C  G
Like a small town hypocrite
                      F  C  G
Just a small town hypocrite
                      F  C  G
Like a small town hypocrite
                      F  C  G
Just a small town hypocrite
