Verse 1:
Em7                 G/B C           D
Our whole world was one black white
Em7                     G/B                   C    D
Our best friends hadn't changed since we were five
Em7            G/B   C                     D      Em7
Beer cans in a truck bed, every weekend we do it again
       G/B                   C                       D
To get out back to the house if Main Street was dead
Em7    G/B      C                             D
Couple kids thinking we were always one step ahead

In a small town

Chorus:
Em7           G/B               C                   D         Em7
Oh, but those backroads are the back bones of where we grew up
    G/B                    C               D      Em7
And those bonfires are the home fires when wе get lost
     G/B  C                              D             Em7
That high school was the first school we lеarned about love
         G/B                 C              D        Em7
And your dad’s garage is the first place we got drunk
          G/B       C           Am7
You could certainly say we grew up
     G/B   C   D
In a small town
Em7  G/B   C  D
In a small town


Verse 2:
Em7        G/B  C   D
Started to criticize
Em7        G/B               C          D
People who stayed in the one block lives
Em7        G/B        C            D        Em7
Loaded our truck bed, headed west, anywhere fast
      G/B      C                           D
Found out word gets around wherever you're at
Em7      G/B                    C             D
But your old friends they ain't there to have your back
Em7        G/B               C             D Em7
And you’re wishing you could have what you had
     G/B   C   D
In a small town


Chorus:
Em7           G              C           D          Em7
Like how that old pub is the only pub we don't meet up
         G                  C            D           Em7
And your teacher's the same teacher that taught your mom
      G              C                D       Em7
Those crosses at the red light keep reminding us
        G                 C
To hold on to the ones we love
   D                   Em7
Be thankful that we've come
       G     C   D
From a small town


Post-Chorus:
Em7        G/B  C   D
I'm headed home now
Em7                G      C  D
Yeah, I just might settle down
Em7  G/B   C  D
In a small town


Interlude:
Em7 G C D


Bridge:
Em7            G        C   D
Life flashed before our eyes
Em7                   G/B                 C   D
Fell in love with the small town state of mind
Em7                 G     C
Our two kids in the truck bed playing Peter Pan
    D            Em7
Are lost in Neverland
    G/B         C                             D
I'm scared if I look away now I'll look back again
Em7          G/B          C                   D
They'll turn eighteen and say there’s nothing for them
Em7  G/B   C  D
In a small town


Chorus:
Em7             G/B                    C              D
Oh, but they’ll call home when they're out of oil and ask for dad
Em7       G/B                    C              D           Em7
The first heartbreak will be the first break in finding themselves
     G/B               C             D      Em7
And eventually they’ll come back and settle down
      G/B               C       D
Buy a piece of land and build a house
Em7       G/B             C
Yeah, the ones will leave us proud
D              Em7           G/B   C      D
They'll gather round bury us six feet down
Em7  G/B   C  D
In a small town
Em7  G/B C D
In a small town
