From Austin Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][C][G][F]
[F][C][G][F]

[Verse 1]
There is [F]concrete below me
and a [C]sky above so blue
I'm [G]finally leavin' Austin
and I [F]wish it was with you
I am just a sickness
and you [C]seem to be the cure
[G]How much can a southern girl
[F]honestly endure?

[Verse 2]
Re[F]member northwest mountains,
they were [C]snow-capped in June
You were [G]nappin' on my arms
on a [F]Sunday afternoon
But babe, I've gotta heal myself
from the [C]things I've never felt
Re[G]pression is my Heaven
but I'd [F]rather go through hell

[Chorus 1]
It's 'bout time that I left [Am]Austin,
'bout time you [G]settled down
With a man who doesn't [F]move as quick
as trains rollin' [C]through town
'Bout time that I [Am]faced
the hard times I've [G]let go
Love was just an [F]ocean,
I would drown before [C]I float

[Interlude 1]
[Am][G][F][C]
[Am][G][F][C]
[F][C][G][F]

[Interlude 2]
You re[F]member gettin' drunk
on the [C]outskirts of this town
When I [G]gave you all I had
but it [F]still let you down?
Everyone I've ever loved
has [C]either left or died
Wish [G]I was born with concrete shoes
but [F]I'm leavin' tonight

[Chorus 2]
It's 'bout time that I left [Am]Austin,
'bout time you [G]settled down
With a man who doesn't [F]move as quick
as trains rollin' [C]through town
'Bout time that I [Am]faced
the hard times I've [G]let go
Love was just an [F]ocean,
I would drown before [C]I float

[Interlude 3]
[Am](Float)[G][F][C]
[Am](Float)[G][F][C]

[Verse 3]
There's [F]concrete below me
and a [C]sky above so blue
[G]People ruin people, I don't [F]wanna ruin you
I am just a sickness
and you [C]seem to be the cure
[G]How much can a southern girl
[F]honestly endure?

[Chorus 3]
And I'm finally gone from [Am]Austin,
you finally [G]settled down
With a man who didn't [F]move as quick
as trains rollin' [C]through town
I've finally had to [Am]faced
the hard times I've [G]let go
If lovin' you was an [F]ocean,
I'd have drowned so you [C]could float
