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
