As recorded by Good Kid (2023 release) [Intro] B E C#m E B E C#m E [Verse 1]
          B
This is a first rate town

B
But all you ever notice

        E
Are the ways it's stretched to far

           B
And it has been knocked down

B
But some of us are still

     E
Left here between the scars

         B
When you look around

B
All you ever notice is

         E
That you can not see the stars

          B                                    E
This is a first rate town, first rate town you know

                        B
You just can't see very far
[Interlude] B E C#m E B E C#m E [Verse 2]
         B
When the last door closed

B
You packed your clothes

         E
And went back to Montreal

            B
Said it was colder there

B
A chill hangs into the air

   E
It helps you forget it all

    C#m
You left and empty bookshelf

       E
That I did not fill till fall

          C#m                                   E
This is a first rate town a first rate town you know

                         B
You just can't see it at all
[Interlude] B E C#m E B E C#m E [Bridge]
     G#m     B       E
Well it will fade as all things must

  G#m       B        E
I loved you but, you didn't love me enough

G#m    B          E
Winter comes, the car will rust

     C#m               E
I'll start it up, then always run a little rough
[Verse 3]
          B
This is a first rate town

B
And all you ever notice

        E
Are the ways it's stretched too far

              B
They keep the death rates down

B
It's colder than a winter

      E
Spent in defrosting cars

   C#m
We talked a lot of leaving

       E
Didn't think you'd get that far

          C#m                                   E
This is a first rate town a first rate town you know

                        B
You just can't see very far
[Outro] B C#m E
