Fell in love with this song the first time I heard it, way better than The Outsiders, no question. Intro: G (Palm mute) Verse I (Palm Mute): G Damn I used to love this view, sit here and drink a few D Main Street and the high school lit up on Friday night G Down there it's another touchdown, man this year's team is stout D I can hear them goin' crazy, and up here so am I Cadd9 Thinkin' about you sittin' there sayin' I hate this, I hate it D If you couldn't stand livin' here why'd you take it, take it Chorus (Palm Mute): G D Cadd9 G Give me back my hometown D G 'Cuz this is my hometown Verse II (Palm Mute): G All the colors of my youth the red, the green, the hope, the truth D Are beatin' me black and blue cause you're in every scene G My friends try to cheer me up get together at the Pizza Hut D I didn't have the heart to tell them that was our place Cadd9 These sleepy streetlights on every sidewalk side street D Shed a light on everything that used to be Chorus (Palm Mute): G D Cadd9 G Give me back my hometown D G 'Cuz this is my hometown Instrumental (Open): G, Cadd, G, Cadd9 Ooooh, ooohhhh yeah x2 Bridge (Open): Em7 You can have my grandmas locket, the knife out of my grandpas pocket Cadd9 Yeah my state champion jacket, I don't care you can have it Em7 Every made memory, every picture, every broken dream Cadd9 Yea everything, everything, everything Chorus (Palm mute): G D Cadd9 G Give me back my hometown D G 'Cuz this is my hometown Outro (Open): G, Cadd, G, Cadd9 Ooooh, ooohhhh yeah x2
