[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
GThere's a town where it's carved into the Earth
GAnd summer always Amsings "la da da da Dda"
To keep from being Gheard
[Verse 2]
GWell I was born there, right around this spot
Where the only thing you Amknow is "la da da da Dda"
Whether you like the sonGg or not
[Chorus]
You can Cfind me in town, on any street
AmWandering towards the sound of your Gvoice
You can Cfind me on the street, any time
AmLooking for you, singing to mGyself
[Verse 3]
GSo if you're lonely, just a face among the crowd
GWell, the only thing you Amknow is "la da da da Dda"
You know I'll come aroGund
[Chorus]
You can Cfind me in town, on any street
AmWandering towards the sound of your Gvoice
You can Cfind me on the street in any town
AmLooking for you, singing to mGyself

C C Am C C Am Em F G C
[Verse 1]
Well ever sCince you went away I've been a mess inside
And there's nAmothing you could do to get me sCatisfied
And my hCeart's turned against me and it Amwon't abEmide
But I dFon't really miss her like I mGiss my pCride
[Verse 2]
Well there's a wCeight on my back and there's a thorn in my side
There's a stAmone in my chest where my hCeart should reside
And peace of mind is more than even Amshe could provEmide
But I dFon't want her back like I wGant my prCide
[Chorus]
Well I kFnow I'll find another
I know we wasn't meCant for each other
But oFh, all that lGove in vCain
She was so quFick to recover
Was I just some tCwo-bit lover?
If she would sFuffer she would eGase my pCain
C C Am C C Am Em F G C
[Verse 3]
Well in Cno time flat she found a faster ride
She took the fAmirst good looker and she Copened wide
While I've been suffering alone in the gAmreat diEmvide
But I dFon't really need her like I nGeed my prCide
[Verse 4]
Well I drCive by her house to see his bike outside
And I drAmeam every night it's someone eClse's bride
But if I tell you she's the one then you Amknow I've liEmed
'Cause I doFn't really love her like I lGove my prCide
[Chorus]
Well I kFnow I'll find another
I know we wasn't meCant for each other
But oFh, all that lGove in vCain
She was so quFick to recover
Was I just some tCwo-bit lover?
If she would sFuffer she would eGase my pCain

4. Survive
[Intro]
D A
[Verse 1]
DI was huddled in a doorway
AFighting off a trance
With my Dbag pulled to my cAhest
She Dasked me if I was Awaiting for something
I said the Danswer one thousand times over was yes
[Pre-chorus]
F#m Well here I am or a Gshadow of me
Oh Dbut deep down inside
My heart runs Dfree
[Verse 2]
DI was a used shoe salesmanA
And I was Dworking the graveyard shiftA
I was Dlistening for the Abell on the door
Dwhen you walk in
DI was living in the weeds somewheAres
And I was Dbreathing through a straw in the Aswamp
And I was Dgasping for airA wonderDing what it was for
[Chorus]
F#m But I've a child now and she'sG better than me
ButD deep down inside, I hope she maDkes the same mistakes as me
F#m But sometimes love is all it's Gsupposed to be
But it could Dbreak you, remember, take Gcare of your heart
And Ecry, oh and sAomehow we'll surDvive another day A
[Verse 3]
By Dpicking up our feetA
DI was wandering around in the Astreets somewheres outsDide of Eden
DShe came down and let me in A
And then Dshe left for the light A
And I was Dcreeping through, through tAhe brush and the shadows
Man, I was Dscared for my Alife
[Chorus]
F#m But I am saved now, somebody dGied for my sins
And I'm Dso glad, it wasn't me
F#m Sometimes love's not such a Gcrazy thing,
But it could Dbreak you, remember, take Gcare of your heart
And Ecry, oh and Asomehow wF#me'll survDive another day A
Oh Djust for another day A
Not byD walking away A
DNow stay
[Chorus]
F#m But sometimes love is all it'sG supposed to be
But it could Dbreak you, remember, take Gcare of your heart
And Ecry, oh and Asomehow F#mwe'll surviDve another day
DJust one other dayA

7. Could've Happened to Me
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
AI was battle-torn and worn
I was ravaged by scores of Darrows A
Bm Thought about it for a little while
Realized that I could walk away some Aday
AA rack of ties, a travel mug
A telephone, a briefcase filled Dwith papersA
Bm I thought about it for a little while
Realized I could leave the way I Acame
[Chorus]
Oh my Dgoodness, oh Emy my
Could've happened to Ame
[Verse 2]
AAt a border town I learned to keep my hat brim down
And never talk Dto strangersA
Bm Thought about for a little while
Realized I was only a drop in Arain
AA rack of ties, a travel mug
A telephone, a briefcase fulDl of papersA
Bm I thought about it for a little while
Realized I was only a link in a Achain gang, babe
I always Dtook their aDmdvice
I watched them Alay down on the altar
Just like human F#sacrifices
[Chorus]
Oh my Dgoodness, oh Emy my
Could've happened to Ame
Oh my Dgoodness, oh Emy my
Could've happened to Ame
Oh my Dgoodness, oh Emy my
Could've happened to Ame
