Chords

[Intro] D [Verse]
D
When I was a boy, there were no limitations

D
Said my goodbyes at the Greyhound station

G                G/F#               Em
Here I am half a mile from where I grew up

     D
In a parking lot sitting in my pick-up truck
[Chorus]
D
And I'm thinking 'bout burnin' it down, boys

D
Thinking 'bout burnin' it down

G                    G/F#    Em                 D
Nothing's ever gonna be the same in this town
[Verse]
D
Ten gallons of gas and a bottle of propane

D
Electric igniter off my grill and I still can't

G               G/F#       Em
Say for certain that this thing'll blow

          D
But if it does I'm going to be the first one to know
[Chorus]
D
And I'm thinking 'bout burnin' it down, boys

D
Thinking 'bout burnin' it down

Nothing's ever gonna be the same in this town

I'm thinking 'bout burnin' the Walmart down

       A                    G                 D
Always used to say I'd come back some day and settle down

    A               G                 D                A
I'm getting old, no place else to go, it's all come unwound
[Verse]
D
So I'm watching the faces coming and going

D
Some of them strangers, some that I know and

G                    G/F#      Em
It doesn't matter how much how long I wait

           D
'Dause the door's always open and it's never too late
[Chorus]
D
And I'm thinking 'bout burnin' it down, boys

D
Thinking 'bout burnin' it down

G                    G/F#    Em
Nothing's ever gonna be the same in this town

        D
And I'm thinking 'bout burnin' it down, boys

D
Thinking 'bout burnin' it down

G                    G/F#    Em
Nothing's ever gonna be the same in this town

I'm thinking 'bout burnin' the Walmart down
