G5 A5 B5*
It~s a one story town
She was over seventeen when I held her to her word
Had to push her luck
Thought she couldn~t breathe
No it didn~t hurt me when she had to leave
She had a far away feeling
Wasn~t part of me
I~m lost in a one story town
Where everything~s close to the ground
Yeah, same shit goes down
Nothing turns around
It~s a one story town
Instrumental: A5, A5, A5 B5
Yeah, I~m lost in a one story town
Where everything~s close to the ground
Yeah, same shit goes down
Nothing turns around
It~s a one story town
Ending: B5*
Those high guitar parts for the chorus are:
X Y
E -----17--14---------|-5h7p5----------8h10p8-|
B -15----------15-----|-----------------------|
G -----------------16-|-----------------------|
D --------------------|-----------------------|
A --------------------|-----------------------|

-X- is played sometimes during the first half of the chorus and -Y- is played
after that part where Petty sings -same shit goes down-.
I hope this has been help towards you.
