Chords

[Intro] C F C F C [Verse 1]
               F    C
If I could buy this town

            F         C
I'd keep it small and rough

            F     C
Full of 3rd shift dreamers

    D7
And high school love

             C      F  C
I'd keep the church of Christ

        F             C
And the bowling alley open

              F     C
Where the Bud Light signs 

D7
Crackle while they're glowing

            F             C    F C   F C
If I should buy, buy this town
[Verse 2]
               F   C
If I could buy one night

                   F         C
I wouldn't buy the one you'd think

            F                        C
I'd buy the one where my eyes teared up

              D7
By the light above the kitchen sink

        C    F  C
And you held me tight

        F                C
And you begged me not to cry

                   F         C
If I could buy the sweetness of one kiss

     D7
Then that's the one I'd buy

   F               C     F C   F C
If I could buy one night
[Chorus]
G
All the money in the world 

               F                  C
Couldn't buy a drop of real love, could it?

       F                      C
And it really shouldn't, now, should it?

   D7                                F              C F C   F C
If I could buy the stars, I'd polish them so bright__
[Verse 3]
               F    C
If I could buy your pain

           F                 C
First, I'd buy the great big sea

                 F      C
And I'd put that pain inside a box

    D7
And bury it so deep

           C   F   C
If I could buy you back

              F                  C
The years you worked yourself to death

                F          C
I would buy and waste your suffering

            D7
Until there wasn't any left

   F                C    F C   F C
If I could buy your pain
[Chorus]
G
All the money in the world 

               F                  C
Couldn't buy a drop of real love, could it?

       F                      C
And it really shouldn't, now, should it?

           D7                             F              C F C   F C   F C   F C
'Cause I'd gladly give you every piece of my whole heart__
[Verse 4]
               F    C
If I could buy this town

             F            C
I'd keep the Friday night bleachers

                    F   C
Full of kids falling in love

    D7
And unlikely believers

        C    F            C
And the fire-fighters are there

       F                  C
'Cause their kid's in the game

             F       C
And we don't win too often

    D7
But that ain't why we came

   F                C   F C   F C   F C   F C   F C   F C
If I could buy this town
