Our Town Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][E][Am]
[C][Am][C][Am]
[E]This is our town,

[Verse 1]
[E]
this is my place
This is where my [D]whole world is lived in
[C]Nothing much, and [D]just out of reach
of all [A]the city light[Am]s[A][Am][E]
It's a high town, it's a low town
It's [D]get [E]here, [D]come on you grow town
[C]No one does, but [D]everyone thinks
they're gonna [A]make it [Am]soon[G]
This is [Em]one [G]place [Em]I respe[Am]cted
Now I feel it's [F]really de[Dm]jec t[F]ed
[G]No one cares and the [Em]people just stare
As [Am]a man on the box says
[F]"Hey [C]you, [F]don't walk away,
[C]vot[F]e f[C]or me
You'll get more pay,
keep [F]work[C]ing hard"
[F]But [C]they work [Em]slow

[Verse 2]
[E]
Here it comes now, Sunday morning
Just [Em]another [D]sleepy town yawning
[C]Down below [D]everything looks
just like an[A]other day
[Em]But, in [E]the warm glow
of the sunrise
There's [Em]a child who's [D]search
ing with young eyes
[C]Looking 'round and [D]feeling inside
he's gonna [A]fly [G]away
There was one [Em]time, I was [Am]leaving
But the folks [F]around me kept grieving
[G]Friends said go, but my [Em]dad said no
And my [Am]mum kept saying
[F]"Don't [C]go, [F]don't go [C]away[F]
[C]Don't leave us, you've [F]got [C]to stay
Just [F]raise them kids,
[C]oh [F]mot[C]her no"
[Em][E]

[Verse 3]
[G#m]
No prospects, just [C#]projects
Don't try to tell me we're
[G#m]living
There's no real need to try
[E]Can't you see this [F#]town's

[Interlude 1]
gonna die
[C][A][C][A]
[Em]
Hail the new [E]age,

[Verse 4]
it's a rat cage
Join the [Em]place for breed[D]ing dumb species
[C]All stacked up and [D]doing whatever
someone [A]tells you [Em]to
Burn the place down, make it dead ground
[E]Show the people jus[D]t what
they're missing
[C]Wake up, wake up,
[D]can't you believe in what I'm [A]telling [G]you
There's a house where
[Em]I was born in[A]
[Am]Now it's changed w[F]ithout any w[Dm]arning
[F]Cra[G]nes just crash and
[Em]bricks just smash
While [Am]a bi[C]llbo[Am]ard's saying
[F]"Let's [C]go, [F]let's get [C]away
Come [F]fly [C]me, you've weeks to pay
When sun[F]shine [C]calls,
[F]but [C]I won't g[Em]o"[E][Em]

[Outro 1]
