[Intro]
G Am G Am
[Verse 1]
G Am Well, I don't know where the cool kids hang on Friday night G Am Used to park our parent's car by the billboard sign C G They tore it down years ago to build a small high-rise C Em D It's abandoned now and it's been that way for quite some time
[Verse 2]
G Am It don't make sense, but the cheap motel is always open G Am Seems like we're sitting in a hand-basket, wondering where it's going C G There's a freshwater shark in a small fish tank behind the counter C Em D Door's always locked and you gotta pre-pay in cash by the hour
[Chorus]
C Em D The sunsets still look the way they always do C Em D C Over the backyard trees my grandma used to sit under in the afternoon Em D And you can't keep everything the way you want it Am C Feels like even the ghosts are getting out G Am G Am Giving up on your hometown
[Verse 3]
G Am Every single Sunday, 10am, we were in that pew G Am I was married there and baptized there and my kids were too C G My mother sang in the women's choir before she died C Em D And the day they sold that church even the statue of Mother Mary cried
[Chorus]
C Em D The sunsets still look the way they always do C Em D C Over the backyard trees my grandma used to sit under in the afternoon Em D And you can't keep everything the way you want it Am C Feels like even the ghosts are getting out G Am Giving up on your hometown G Am Giving up on your hometown
[Bridge]
C Am And every kid that's left, just kept going G D And every debt we didn't pay, we just keep owing G Am Never visit your daddy's grave, but we go by the house G Am He'd be working on a car in the driveway if he was with us now C G And that porch swing you built for your mama, is all but gone C Em G D I guess even when you stay right here, sometimes you can't go home
[Outro]
G Am Giving up on your hometown G Am Giving up on your hometown G Am G Am Giving up on your hometown
