Chords with lyrics
Tuning: Standard
Capo 1
Intro: 
E minorEm
G+G
I knew I'd see her around
E minorEm
I'd be at some party, she'd show up and I'd be walking out
D MajorD
Across some parking lot, hiding behind her sister
G+G
I'd look up, she'd be at the red light beside me
In that white max with the sticker on the back
E minorEm
I'd act like I didn't see her
And we'd play the same poems
Flip through the same stations
And slow down for the same curves
C majorC
Run around with the same crowds
We just needed some time
She could get on with her life and I'd get on with mine
D MajorD
Thought I would be fine, but maybe not
I knew she'd find a way to get over me
But I'd never thought that
[CHORUS]
E minorEm C majorC
She would get down with somebody I know
D MajorD
I guess that's just how it goes
G+G
When you break up in a small town
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC
I see our friends and they put on a show
D MajorD
Like they don't want me to know
G+G D MajorD
So they give me the go-around
C majorC G+G
But there's only so many streets and so many lights
D MajorD G+G D MajorD E minorEm
I swear it's like I can't even leave my house
C majorC
I should have known all along
D MajorD
You gotta move and move on
When you break up in a small town
G+G
For a while I guess they were keeping it low-key
E minorEm
And now it's like these county lines closing in on me
I see em everywhere together
And it's getting a little too close to home
C majorC
She's so far gone, but she didn't go far
She was over me before the grass grew back where she used to park her car
D MajorD
She's leaving those same marks in someone else's yard
In someone else's arms right down the road
And I never thought
[CHORUS]
E minorEm C majorC
She would get down with somebody I know
D MajorD
I guess that's just how it goes
G+G
When you break up in a small town
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC
I see our friends and they put on a show
D MajorD
Like they don't want me to know
G+G D MajorD
So they give me the go-around
C majorC G+G
But there's only so many streets and so many lights
D MajorD G+G D MajorD E minorEm
I swear it's like I can't even leave my house

I should have known all along
D MajorD
You gotta move and move on
When you break up in a small town
E minorEm C majorC D MajorD G+G D MajorD (2x)
E minorEm
Her mailbox is seven minutes from mine
C majorC D MajorD G+G
And I drive in the town sometimes and I see her there sittin there with him
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC
I want to jump out I want to fight I want to say .... that guy
D MajorD
But I can't cause it's my fault and I let her go
G+G D MajorD
I never thought
[CHORUS]
E minorEm C majorC
She would get down with somebody I know
D MajorD
I guess that's just how it goes
