/ = slide up ~ = vibrato [Verse 1]
  D                         G
A struck match faded like a nervous laugh

           D                G
Beyond the halo of a naked bulb

         D                           G
And your low voice mingles with your other half's

D                               G
School friends in second-hand clothes

  D                        G
Eventually your world will shrink within four walls

     D                  G
Of neglected debts and stolen stereos
[Chorus]
         A          G
So move away Jimmy Blue

            A                        G
Before your small, small town turns around and swallows you
[Interlude] D G D G [Verse 2]
        D               G
A drunk mother was the cue

         D                          G
For the legendary things that you do

           D                  G
Behind the carnival tent with mud on your face

           D                 G
Behind the old glue factory too
[Chorus]
         A          G
So move away Jimmy Blue

            A                        G                    D   G
Before your small, small town turns around and swallows you

             D   G
And swallows you
A G [Bridge]
D                    G
  Wet feet visit the same old places

D                        G
 You're finding nothing new

       D                        G
It's a bin full of tissues from made-up faces

    D                         G
In a town full of nothing to do

  A                    G
A love match with the moon

      A            G
In a layby, while insects hum and

 A                  G                     A
You got put in the darkness of a woman's womb

       G
Jimmy Blue, Jimmy Blue
[Break] D G D G D G D G [Chorus]
         A   G
So move away

                      A   G
Turn around and move away

            A          G
Yeah, move away Jimmy Blue

            A                        G                     D
Before your small, small town turns around and swallows you
