C
Someday they''ll find our small town world,
On a big town avenue,

Gonna make you like the way they talk,
When they''re talking to you,
C
Gonna make you break out of your shell,
Cuz they tell you to,
F
Gonna make you like the way they lie,
Better than the truth,
Am
They''ll tell you everything,
You wanted someone else to say,
F
They''re gonna break your heart.

You''re just one more hand me down,

Somebody oughta take you in,
Try to make you love again,
F
Try to make you like the way they feel,
When they''re under you skin.
C
Never once to you think that they would lie,
When they''re holding you,
F
You wonder why they havn''t called,
When they said they''d call you,
Am
You start to wonder,
If you''re ever gonna make it by,
F
You''ll start to think,
You were born blind.
[Chorus]
