πΈ Intro:
F C G F ( x2 )
πΈ Verse 1:
F C
There is concrete below me and a sky above so blue
G F
I'm finally leaving Austin and I wish it was with you
F C
I am just a sickness and you seem to be the cure
G F
How much can a southern girl honestly endure?
F C
Remember northwest mountains, they were snow-capped in June
G F
You were napping on my arms on a Sunday afternoon
F C
But babe
I've gotta heal myself from the things I've never felt
G F
Repression is my heaven but I'd rather go through hell
πΈ Chorus:
Am
It's 'bout time that I left Austin
G
'Bout time you settled down
F
With a man who doesn't move as quick
C
As the trains rolling through town
Am
'Bout time that I face
G
The hard times I've let go
F
If love was just an ocean
C
I would drown before I float
πΈ Interlude:
Am G F C
Am G F C
F C G F
πΈ Verse 2:
F C
You remember getting drunk on the outskirts of this town
G F
When I gave you all I had but it still let you down
F C
Everyone I ever loved has either left or died
G F
Wish I was born with concrete shoes but I'm leaving tonight
πΈ Chorus:
Am
It's 'bout time that I left Austin
G
'Bout time you settled down
F
With a man who doesn't move as quick
C
As the trains rolling through town
Am
'Bout time that I face
G
The hard times I've let go
F
If love was just an ocean
C
I would drown before I float
πΈ Post-Chorus:
Am G F C
Float
Am G F C
Float
πΈ Bridge:
F C
There's concrete below me and a sky above so blue
G F
People ruin people
I don't wanna ruin you
F C
I am just a sickness and you seem to be the cure
G F
How much can a southern girl honestly endure?
πΈ Chorus:
Am
And I'm finally gone from Austin
G
You finally settled down
F
With a man who didn't move as quick
C
As the trains rolled through town
Am
I finally had to face
G
The hard times I've let go
F
If loving you was an ocean
C
I'd of drowned so you cold float
