Intro: C F Dm F C F Dm F Verse 1: C F Richie and Austen are often along for the ride Dm F They don't say a lot, but they know every inch of this drive C F If these trees started talkin', I bet you they'd only talk **** Dm F 'Cause we never do anythin' real, we just talk about it C F Endin' of August, the bugs are just startin' to die Dm F All the neighbors are votin' for someone who wins every time C F And I thought gettin' older meant knowin' it's too late to try Dm F And I tried gettin' sober, I swear I did better this time Pre-Chorus: C F Ooh, hm Dm F Ooh hm C F Ooh, hm C F Ooh, hm Chorus: C F Oh, everythin' you see out here will die. Oh, it's a matter of time Dm 'Til it's fields of ice and reflector lights F 'Til it's our town, mm Verse 2: C F And anythin' you need, I will provide A ride home or an alibi Dm I know the traffic light you can speed right by F 'Cause the camera's down Am And I follow New York plates to the county line G I ignore 'em when they wave on 89 F The minute that September hits Dm I'm goin' off my medicine, oh C F Late August angst and a pointless night Dm Oh, and the feelin' of bein' alive F For the first time in a long time [Instrumental Break] C F Dm F
Bridge: C Oh, we're a drawin' of a place We're a photo on the fridge F They mined copper for years Oh, there was nothin' left to dig Dm It's a place where most kids Just grow up and have kids F Who grow up and have kids Who build homes for the rich, oh Chorus: C F Oh, everythin' you see out here will die. Oh, it's a matter of time Dm 'Til it's fields of ice and reflector lights F 'Til it's our town Post-Chorus: C 'Til it's our town F 'Til it's our town Dm And it's our town F 'Cause it's ours now Outro: C F 05072. Dm F C A long shadow
