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

Give me back my hometown
