^GDamn I used to love this view, sit here and drink a few ^DMain Street and the high school lit up on Friday night

^GDown there it's another touchdown, man this year's team is stout ^DI can hear them goin' crazy, and up here so am I

^Cadd9Thinkin' about you sittin' there sayin' I hate this, I hate it ^DIf you couldn't stand livin' here why'd you take it, take it

Verse II (Palm Mute):

^GAll the colors of my youth the red, the green, the hope, the truth ^DAre beatin' me black and blue cause you're in every scene

^GMy friends try to cheer me up get together at the Pizza Hut ^DI didn't have the heart to tell them that was our place

^Cadd9These sleepy streetlights on every sidewalk side street ^DShed a light on everything that used to be
