  She said her old boyfriend

              G      D
packed up and headed back east.

he would go.

A boring life in a boring town

         G               D
with the same old crowd. (woah-oh-oh)

       A
When I used to say, that I'd never stay

But I'm rotting here today. (woah-oh-oh)

With that same old crowd

              G    D A
that's always been around.

Bm      G                  E
  And I always thought I'd be

             A
the first to go.

              E
That same old crowd,

              F#m
that drags me down.

 E      D               A
Another day in a boring town.

That same old crowd,

               F#m
that brings me down.

A boring life in a boring town.

      A
After all these years you're here,

         G                  D
and it's still just you and me.

A
  Sometimes I can't believe after all these years

G                   D           A
  I just think I'll never leave here.

              G  D  A
She said it's so funny,

              G   D  A
how life runs out so fast.

            Bm
Let's take another drink,

    E
and here's to the past.
[Chorus]
              E
That same old crowd,

              F#m
that drags me down.

 E      D               A
Another day in a boring town.

              E
That same old crowd,

               F#m
that brings me down.

  E      D                Bm
A boring life in a boring town.
[Bridge]
       G               D              A
And remember when they looked through you,

         G           D
and then looked past me.

            A                     E
We were the ones they said would always leave.

Bm             G        D        A
   So when you go, just think of me,

G            D
think of me. (woah-oh-oh)
