Hometown chords by Cleopatrick

Verse:
Dm   A#
    Short cut to a quick buck is working all the time

Renting out your mind

And saving every dime
                              G
Because when ten of those combine
             A#
They cross a sacred line
            G
And go from pocket change
     A#        C
To a gold mine

Dm                 A#
She said she'd be down to hangout

With her parents out of town she was hoping I'm around
                          G
For a party at her vacant place
  A#                    G
I said I'd come; showed up and felt out of place
    A#
So I headed home

                G                 A#
That's when she text my phone and ask me where
  G              A#
I was and when I said I was gone
    G
She broke my spine
    A#
And in that pain
                G                                      A#
I realized that every dime I'd ever saved wasn't worth anything

Pre-Chorus:
           Dm                            Am
What's the drive in being alive when you don't know who you are?
           C                                 G
What's the fun in getting drunk if you can't take it too far
        Dm                                      Am
Yeah my friends are saying I've been wasting all my weekends contemplating
        G
If it's me or the booze that really gets wasted
G
I don't even taste it
G
When I'm throwing back shots as if its a race then
G
Quickly chase them

Chorus:
   Dm       Am        G
Without a mouth I'm so down
F      Dm        Am             G
My hometown only makes me feel alone
              F
But just when I

Hometown girls are my greatest fear

D           A#
Girl it's a simple matter
Dm               C            A#
Put your painted finger on my tongue
         C
So I can taste the lacquer
Dm              C                  G
And relive each door that you have touched

G
And then she split my lips
A#

I tried to speak but everyone agreed
              A#
They couldn't hear a word I'd say

Take me anywhere but home

Going down
F        Dm         Am              A#                C
