Key of F
(Capo 5)  

F (C)   Am (Em)    Bb (F)    C (G) 

Verse One
F (C)   			     Am (Em)    
I wasn't meant for this place, it sure don't feel like home
	Bb (F)    		C (G)
We got a 12-lane highway and nowhere to go
F (C)   				Am (Em)    
It's not a bad city, but it's somebody else's dream
	Bb (F)    		C (G)
All this pounding on the pavement makes me wants to scream

Chorus:
F (C)   				Am (Em)    
I wanna be drinkin Rainier on the river, whiskey at the Pastime
	Bb (F)    		C (G)		F (C)   Am (Em)    Bb (F)    C (G) 
I got a big city walk, and a small town on my mind

Verse Two
I know I gotta be here now, I know I gotta pay my dues
There's so much to gain, but there's so much you lose
Everybody's got a dream that'll split them straight in half
You gotta take a little time out, a little time to sit back

Chorus

Bridge
	Bb (F)    		C (G)
My heart's been jumbled and my spirit's off
		Dm (Am)				Am (Em)
I rarely tell the truth now, when I do I keep my fingers crossed
	Bb (F)    		C (G)
Everything moves so fast I can barely catch my breath
	Dm (Am)				Am (Em)
Everyone tugging at my sleeve, there won’t be much of me left

Verse Three
So I'm gonna head up north, gonna see about a little town
Some places you just get lost, some places you know you've been found

So I'm gonna head up north, gonna see about a little town
Some places you just get lost, some places...

Chorus:
Well, you can find me drinking Rainier on the river, whiskey at the Pastime
I got a big city walk, and small town on my mind

Rainier on the river, whiskey at the Pastime
Trading this big city walk for that small town on my mind
