Intro : C5

Verse:
C5
And I sing songs about the past
How I was raised And how I was thrown out on my ass

F5
'Cause I didn't care
                    C5
'Bout going to school

C5
And I saw the look in her eyes
                                                       F5
My mother nearly cried when I told her that I wanted to go
                      C5
Just to prove them wrong

A5
I've been smoking Cigarettes

           F5
Since I was only fourteen
        C5 (hold)
Just to find an escape
          F5 (hold)                  C5
From this town that was so mean to me

C5
And I sing songs about my friends
And how we grew up
                                  F5
In all the loose ends, we used to laugh
                       C5
'Cause I didn't give a damn

C5
And I saw the look in my brothers eyes
When I told him I was leaving
                     F5
He couldn't help but despise me
                         C5
He's wanted out his whole life

A5
I've been smokin' the green

           F5
Since I was merley sixtee
        C5 (hold)
Just to find an escape
          F5 (hold)                  C5
From this town that was so mean to me

C5
And I sing songs about the past

A5
I plea for relief
This town won't recede

C5
The things that I want

F5
The things that I need

A5
And I want it all dead
I'm down on my knees

C5
Momma, oh Momma

F5
Please let me leave

A5
I plea for relief
This town won't recede

C5
The things that I want

F5
The things that I need

F5                       C5
All I ever wanted was Love
