Jacksonville Skyline Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The banks of the river run through
my hometown
'BOARDED ON THE dirt roads,
and I scraped my [C]knees
Well they [G]paved the roads eventually
With neon signs and car
dealerships and [C]diners
[D]The soldiers fill the [Em]ho
tels on the week[C]ends
[D]I saw the pretty wo[Em]men as I
[C]wal[D]ked through tow[G]n
Well, I moved away soon as I
turned [D]sixteen[G]
Figured I was old enough to
go and work [C]a job
Well I [G]floated down main street,
pools of car lights
WOE BECAME me,
wishing I was still back [C]home
[D]The soldiers fill the ho[Em]tels
on the week[C]ends
[D]I saw the pretty wo[Em]men as I
[C]wal[D]ked thr[G]ough town
Well, Jacksonville's a city with
a hopeless streetlight
Seems like you're lucky if it ever
change from red [C]to green
I was [G]born in an abundance
of inherited sadness
And .50 cent picture frames
bought at a [D]five and [C]dime
I [D]ended up [Em]a soldier on
the week[C]end
[D]Looking for a va[Em]cancy I
[C]was NEVER to find
[D]Somewhere the night [Em]sky
hangs like a [C]blanket
[D]Shoot it with my [Em]cap gun
just [C]to make it
[D]Seem like stars

[Outro 1]
[G]
