[G][G][C][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]Sirens wail and a flashin' light
Nothing better to do on a Tuesday [C]night
But give me [G]hell
[G]Where you headed, what are you out for?
We don't see much of you
'round here any[C]more
I guess it's just as [G]well

[Pre-chorus 1]
[D]Once upon a time [C]you had it all
You [D]let everybody [C]down
You're [D]always seven[C]teen in your home[G]town

[Chorus 1]
[D]Running from your fol[C]ks,
running from the [G]law
[D]Running from lov[C]e, running from your fea[G]rs,
running from it [D]all
[C]You keep on runnin[D]g boy
You [G]run yourself [D]in the [Em]ground
You're [C]always seven[D]teen in your hometown

[Interlude 1]
[G][G][C][C]

[Verse 2]
[G]Her porch swing still looks the same
She probably won't even
remember my [C]name
Just like she didn't back [G]then
[G]Is she married, is she doing fine
Does she know about all the nights
I laid [C]awake crying
Just to know her [G]hand?

[Pre-chorus 2]
[D]The door opens and I r[C]un away,
[D]just like the same 'ole [C]clown
You're [D]always seven[C]teen in your home[G]town

[Chorus 2]
[D]Running from your fol[C]ks,
running from the [G]law
[D]Running from lov[C]e, running from your fea[G]rs,
running from it [D]all
[C]You keep on runnin[D]g boy
You [G]run yourself [D]in the [Em]ground
You're [C]always seven[D]teen in your hometown

[Verse 3]
[G]Well nobody is gonna miss me
No tears will fall, no one's gonna [C]weep
When I hit that [G]road
[G]My boots are broken, my brain is sore
From keeping up with their little [C]world
I got a heavy [G]load

[Pre-chorus 3]
[D]Gonna leave 'em on [C]just like before,
[D]I'm big city [C]bound
You're [D]always seven[C]teen in your home[G]town

[Chorus 3]
[D]Running from your fol[C]ks,
running from the [G]law
[D]Running from lov[C]e, running from your fea[G]rs,
running from it [D]all
[C]You keep on runnin[D]g boy
You [G]run yourself [D]in the [Em]ground
You're [C]always seven[D]teen

You're [C]always seven[D]teen in your hometown
