The Past Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]And I sing songs about the past
And how I was raised and I was
thrown out on my ass
'Cause I didn't [F]care
about going [C]to school
And I saw the look in her eyes
My mother nearly cried when I
told her that I wanted [F]to go
Just to prove [C]them wrong

[Verse 2]
I've [Am]been smoking cigarettes
since I was [F]only fourteen
Just [G]to find an escape from this [C]town
that was so [F]mean [C]to me
And I sing songs about the friends
The way we grew up and all the loose
ends we used [F]to laugh
'Cause I didn't give a damn
[C]

[Verse 3]
[C]And I saw the look in my brothers eyes
When I told him I was leaving
He couldn't help but des[F]pise me
He wanted out [C]his whole life

[Verse 4]
I've [Am]been smoking the green
since I was [F]merely sixteen
Just [G]to find an escape from this
[C]town that was so [F]mean [C]to me
I sing songs about the [F]past[Am]
[C][F][Am][C]
I [F]plead for relief
This [Am]town won't recede
all the [C]things I wanted
The things I needed I'll [F]beg and I'll beg

[Verse 5]
I 'm [Am]down on my knees [C]mama oh mama
Let me please leave I [F]plead for relief
This [Am]town won't recede
all the [C]things I wanted
The things I needed I'll
[F]I ever w[Fm]anted was l[C]ove
