[Verse 1]
          Bm
Hold your fire
           D            E            Bm
I'm coming out and I'll tell you the truth 
      D         E        Bm
I was trying to raise my roof
        A 
Did you see it
       G      A  Bm
That I needed to prove
        D       E      Bm
That my stinger always stays 
               D         E        Bm         
You said she's beautiful when she plays
      D              E      A 
Did I hit you in the proper place 
A
   Suddenly 

[Chorus 1]
G          A                    F#m
I, oh well I could live in this town
     G 
Five cold years before I
    A                    F#m 
Yes I could live in this town
G                 
Before I head for home 

Bm D E (2x)

[Verse 2]
        Bm
It's my turn 
         D         E         Bm 
With the spotlight burning a hole
       D            E       Bm  
But my bird-heart's turning cold 
       A           G     A   Bm  
As the temperature rises all around
       D          E       Bm
To the sound of a ticking bomb
              D        E           Bm
And then it's not just showing off here
         D       E               A 
You know there's something going on here 
      A
Going on here 

Suddenly 


[Chorus 2] 
G          A                    F#m
I, oh well I could live in this town
     G 
Five cold years before I 
    A                    F#m
Yes I could live in this town 
G
Five cold years
    A                    F#m 
Yes I could live in this town
      G
Five cold years before I
     A                    F#m 
Well I could live in this town
G 
Before I head for home 


[Bridge]
(mute)
And considered it odd 
            Bm       
That I ever stayed 
     A 
ever stayed
            Bm
That I ever stayed 
     A
ever stayed
            Bm       
That I ever stayed 
     A 
ever stayed
            Bm
That I ever stayed 
     A
ever stayed
              Bm
You know that feeling you get 
         E             D   
when you don't want to leave 
     Bm
That feeling you get 
         E             D   
when you don't want to leave 
     Bm
That feeling when you don't want to leave 
Bm
    Suddenly


[Chorus 3] 
G          A                    F#m
I, oh well I could live in this town
     G 
Five cold years before I 
    A                    F#m
Yes I could live in this town 
G
Five cold years
    A                    F#m 
Yes I could live in this town
      G
Five cold years before I
     A                    F#m 
Well I could live in this town


[Outro]
G            A F#m G

G            A F#m G
  Uummannaq
G 
Before I head for home 
(mute)
And considered it odd 
That I ever stayed
