[Verse 1]
D G When you growing up in a small town. A D When you growing up in a small town. G When you growing up in a small town. A D You say: "No one famous ever came from here". G When you growing up in a small town. A And you having a nervous breakdown. D And you think that you'll never escape it. G A D Yourself or the place that you live.
[Bridge 1]
D Where did Picasso come from? G A D There's no Michelangelo coming from Pittsburgh. G If art is the tip of the iceberg A D I'm the part sinking below.

[Verse 2]
D G When you growing up in a small town A D Bad skin, bad eyes, gay and fatty. D People look at you funny. G D When you're in a small town. E My father worked in construction. A It's not something for which I am suited D G Oh, what is something, which you are suited? A D Getting outta here.

[Verse 3]
D G I hate being odd in a small town. A D If they stare, let them stare in New York City. G At this pink-eyed painting albino. A D How far can my fantasy go? D I'm no Dalí coming from Pittsburgh. G A D No adorable lisping Capote, my hero. G Oh, do you think I could meet him? A D I'd camp out at his front door.
[Verse 4]
G There's only one good thing about a small town. A D There's only one good use for a small town G There's only one good thing about a small town. A D You know that you wanna get out. G When you growing up in a small town. A D You know that you'll grow down in a small town. G There's only one good use for a small town.(tacet)
