Ten Year Town Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
I'm [G]twelve years into a ten year town
I'm too far in to turn around
[C]Too old to go back to school
Won't [G]be much longer, I'll be old news
I [D]thought I'd be a big [C]star now
I'm [G]twelve years into a ten year town

[Verse 2]
For [C]fifteen minutes of fame
Somebody says your name on [G]the TV
Or [C]back [G]of a CD
[C]Waitin' tables another month
Waitin' on that break to come
[Bm]All it's e[G]ver done is break [D]my h[G]eart

[Verse 3]
The [G]new 'It Girl' fresh off the bus
She cut right in front of the rest of us
I need longer [C]lashes and a shorter dress
To [G]be that overnight success
I [D]thought this year I'd wear [C]that crown
I'm [G]twelve years into a ten year town

[Verse 4]
For [C]fifteen minutes of fame
Somebody says your name on [G]the TV
Or [C]back [G]of a CD
[C]Waitin' tables another month
Waitin' on that break to come
[G]All it's ever done is break [D]my heart

[Verse 5]
I didn't [F]come this far
To only [D]go this far

[Verse 6]
[C]Mm- mm, [G]oh- oh- oh
[C]Mm, oh- [G]oh- [D]oh

[Verse 7]
[G]Payin' dues don't pay the bills
Dreams come true and I think
mine will
But lesser [C]fools woulda given up
They don't [G]go for broke like
a dreamer does
You gotta [D]get back up when you
[C]get knocked down
I'm [G]twelve years into a ten year town

[Verse 8]
[D]This next song could turn it all around
I'm [G]twelve years into a ten year town
