Our Town chords by Marshall Crenshaw

Intro: A E (x2)

   A
     I hear something in the sounds that surround me
  Bm             E
     That only seems to remind me,
       Bm               E       D9            A               E
     That I'm lost and longing for a different place and time
   A
     I want to be walking down the avenue,
  Bm                  E
     Tall buildings staring down on me and you
  Bm            E         D9           A                  D9
     But all I have is pictures running through my mind

      E       Bm
     Sunlight dying
      D                   A          D9
     People rushing madly all around
      E       Bm
     Sirens crying
      D                         E        E9/D     C#m7
     Gotta grab the next thing back to our town,
  E9/D            E           E9/D          C#m7 E9/D
     Before the whole thing crumbles to the ground

A E

   A
     Do you remember the promise I gave you,
  Bm             E
     The one I swore I would hold to?
   Bm
     Well you're there,
          E        D9          A               E
     I'm here, and everything I said was wrong
   A
     So we're not out with the crowd nights,
   Bm            E
     Not walking under the bright lights
   Bm           E      D9           A               D9
     All I can do is dream about it, all night long

      E       Bm
     Sunlight dying
      D                   A          D9
     People rushing madly all around
      E       Bm
     Sirens crying
      D                         E        E9/D    C#m7
     Gotta grab the next thing back to our town,
  E9/D            E           E9/D          C#m7 E9/D
     Before the whole thing crumbles to the ground

    E          E9/D          C#m7     E9/D         E
     It's the place where we keep our hopes and dreams,
         E9/D          C#m7     E9/D       E
     The place where I lost my heart it seems
               E9/D         C#m7       E9/D
     All people looking for danger and romance
   E         E9/D            C#m7           E9/D
     Drop by there while you still have the chance,
              E            E9/D        C#m7 E9/D
     'cause it's all gonna tumble down.
              E       E9/D          C#m7 E9/D      A      E
     It's gonna shake apart, and crumble to the ground

   A
     Do you remember the promise I gave you,
   Bm            E

   Bm
     Well you're there,
          E        D9          A               E
     I'm here, and everything I said was wrong
   A
     So we're not out with the crowd nights,
   Bm            E
     Not walking under the bright lights
   Bm           E      D9           A               D9
     All I can do is dream about it, all night long
