[Verse 1]
D Bm G
We accept the love we think we deserve/I heard in a little green book my senior year
A
When I was young enough/to believe that love was a thing to believe in.
D Bm
But maybe we deserve what we accept/and love's just another word
G A D
We throw in the middle to turn our heads from hate.
[Verse 2]
D Bm G
But there's so much that I don't know/I never claimed to be someone that knows
A
Or cares enough to know/bout things we feel now and again. But
D Bm
if I could see this town the way/I saw this town at 17
G A D
Then that might be enough to make me stay.
[Chorus]
Bm G D A
But times grow strange as that old population sign starts to change/along with everything I know.
Bm G D A
It seems everyone I love is either strung-out on drugs/or shot themselves for lack of somewhere else to go.
Bm A G A D
Goodbye is the hardest part of having a friend./And small towns ain't meant for staying in.
[Verse 3]
D Bm G
Back when I was younger, I'd let ciggerate smoke linger/on my clothes hoping the cancer
A
Might just take me 'fore my mind did.
D Bm
But now that I am older/I am more aware of dyin.
G A D
My mortality is frightenin to the bone.
[Verse 4]
D Bm
And I've wasted days by drinkin./I have pissed away nights thinkin bout
G A
The girls I used to dream about./When I cared enough to dream then
D Bm
I'd wake up in a mid-night sweat/from a nightmare born out of regret.
G A D
Praying as I catched my breath/that I wouldn't die alone.
[Chorus]
Bm G D A
But times grow strange as that old population sign starts to change/along with everything I know.
Bm G D A
It seems everyone I love is either strung-out on drugs/or shot themselves for lack of somewhere else to go.
Bm A G A D
Goodbye is the hardest part of having a friend./And small towns ain't meant for staying in.
[Outro]
D Bm G
We accept the love we think we deserve/I heard in a little green book my senior year
A D
When I was young enough/to believe that love was a thing to believe in.
