This is my first tab. :D

Occasionally,(listen to the song to know when) Drew does a hammer on on the A (5th) 
when playing C. Like this:

C
And I sing songs about the past

How I was raised and I was thrown out on my ass
        F                          C
Cause I didn't care about going to school

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

C         Am                             F
I've been smoking cigarettes since I was only fourteen
        G                        Am               F         C
Just to find an escape from this town that was so mean to me

C
And I sing songs about my friends
                                                     F
The way we grew up and all the loose ends we used to laugh
                       C
Cause we didn't give a damn

C
And I saw the look in my brother's eyes

When I told him I was leaving
                  F
He could help but despise me
                        C
He wanted out his whole life

C         Am                            F
I've been smoking the green since I was merely sixteen
        G                        Am               F         C
Just to find an escape from this town that was so mean to me

C
And I sing songs about the past.

The next part is done on a 12-string, but will still sound okay on a 6-string.

(Repeat Above)
I plead for relief.
This town won't receive all the things that I want, the things that I need.
And I'll be and I'll beg.
I'm down on my knees.
Momma oh momma let me please leave.

I plead for relief.
This town won't receive all the things that I want, the things that I need.
And I'll beg.
F          Fm         C
All I ever wanted was love.
