Lori McKenna - Buy This Town
CAPO: 6th Fret
Intro:
C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC
Verse 1:
FF C majorC
If I could buy this town
FF C majorC
I’d keep it small and rough
FF C majorC
Full of 3rd shift dreamers
D7D7
And high school love
C majorC FF C majorC
I’d keep the church of Christ
FF C majorC
And the bowling alley open
FF C majorC
Where the Bud Light signs
D7D7
Crackle while they’re glowing
FF C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC
If I should buy, buy this town
Verse 2:
FF C majorC
If I could buy one night
FF C majorC
I wouldn’t buy the one you’d think
FF C majorC
I’d buy the one where my eyes teared up
D7D7
By the light above the kitchen sink
C majorC FF C majorC
And you held me tight
FF C majorC
And you begged me not to cry
FF C majorC
If I could buy the sweetness of one kiss
D7D7
Then that’s the one I’d buy
FF C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC
If I could buy one night
Chorus:
G+G
All the money in the world
FF C majorC
Couldn’t buy a drop of real love, could it?
FF C majorC
And it really shouldn’t, now, should it?
D7D7 FF C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC
If I could buy the stars, I’d polish them so bright__
Verse 3:
FF C majorC
If I could buy your pain
FF C majorC
First, I’d buy the great big sea
FF C majorC
And I’d put that pain inside a box
D7D7
And bury it so deep
C majorC FF C majorC
If I could buy you back
FF C majorC
The years you worked yourself to death
FF C majorC
I would buy and waste your suffering
D7D7
Until there wasn’t any left
FF C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC
If I could buy your pain
Chorus:
G+G
All the money in the world
FF C majorC
Couldn’t buy a drop of real love, could it?
FF C majorC
And it really shouldn’t, now, should it?
D7D7 FF C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC
'Cause I’d gladly give you every piece of my whole heart__
Verse 4:
FF C majorC
If I could buy this town
FF C majorC
I'd keep the Friday night bleachers
FF C majorC
Full of kids falling in love
D7D7
And unlikely believers
C majorC FF C majorC
And the fire-fighters are there
FF C majorC
'Cause their kid’s in the game
FF C majorC
And we don’t win too often
D7D7
But that ain’t why we came
FF C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC
If I could buy this town
