Song- 'Two story Town¦
Artist- BON JOVI
Written by- Jon Bon Jovi
Album- 'CRUSH¦ 2000
I will admit some of the chords are a bit iffy in places. Don-t blame me. Even masters make mistakes.
Intro: Am | F | C | G | x2
Am F
I couldn't sleep
C G
Took a walk down Second Avenue
Am F C G
Sick of dreaming dreams that never come true
Am F C G Am F C G
One way street and I know where its leading to
There's a "For Sale" sign on the front door of the city hall
The subway line got graffiti crawling off the wall
I could take a hit but I don't want to take the fall
F G
Who, oh. That's just one side of the story
F G
Who, oh, oh. In this two story town
Chorus:
Am F
It's just the same old sights
C G
And the same old sounds
Am F C G
I-m going to take my car and drive out of this two story town
The Csame old Gshit, is Amgoing arGound
F G
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
it's a two-story town
(Repeat one line of the Intro)
There's a girl that I sleep with, got ecstasy eyes,
they promised her roses and American pies
I called her and my demons
I kissed them all goodbye
Woh, oh. Seven days of Monday morning
Woh, oh, oh. In a two story town
Chorus:
Am
One shot to make a move now
F
The ghosts are calling me out
Solo: Am | F | G | C | x2 (each bar is worth 4 beats in the solo)
Well me I'm just one story
in a two story town
But you're never going to find me in the lost and found
Chorus:
Chorus 2:
It's just the same old sights and the same old sounds
I want to take my horse and ride it off this merry-go-round
I won't give in and I won't back down
I'm going down, down, down, down down
I ain't going down, down, down, down, down
Never going down, down, down, down, down
In a two-story town,
In this two story town.
Outro: (Repeat Intro to fade)
I-ve done a Tab.

Intro- D | G | A | D | x2
Hey man it-s Gbeen a while do you remember me'
When I Bm7hit these streets I was Aseventeen
A Glittle wild a little green, beenBm7 up and down and Ain between
After Gall these years an miles of memories,
Bm7I-m still chasing Adreams, but I Gain-t looking over my shoulder.
Chorus:
I Dlike the bed I-m sleeping in, Gjust like me it-s broken in
It-sA not old, just Dolder
Like my Dfavourite pair of torn blue jeans,
The Gskin I-m in is all right with me
It-sA not old, just oDlder
It-s good to see your face you ain-t no worse for wear
Breathing that California air
When we took on the world we were young and brave
Got secrets that we-ll take to the grave
Standing here shoulder to shoulder.
Chorus:
I-m not old enough to sing the blues,
But I-ve worn a hole in the souls of these shoes
You can roll the dice until they call your bluff
But you can-t win, until you-re not afraid to lose

D*
Well I look in the mirror, I don-t hate what I see
