Please escuse the vulgar misinterpretations of the lyrics:
Yeah, F#5I~ve been standing up
E5I~ve been breaking free
F#5 E5 B5*
I don~t want fate handed down to me
Yeah, F#5I~ve been moving on
E5Try another town
F#5Times ain~t changin~ nothing
E5 B5*
Take a look around
I~m D5lost in a A5one story G5town
Where D5everything~s A5close to the G5ground
Yeah, G5same sh*t goes A5down
G5Nothing turns A5around
G5 A5 B5*
It~s a one story town
She was over seventeen when I held her to her word
Had to push her luck
Thought she couldn~t breathe
No it didn~t hurt me when she had to leave
She had a far away feeling
Wasn~t part of me
I~m lost in a one story town
Where everything~s close to the ground
Yeah, same sh*t goes down
Nothing turns around
It~s a one story town
[Instrumental]:
A5 A5 A5....B5
Yeah, I~m lost in a one story town
Where everything~s close to the ground
Yeah, same sh*t goes down
Nothing turns around
It~s a one story town
[Ending]:
B5*
