[Intro]
C G C G
C G D G
[Verse 1]
C We've been there for hours D G I'm running late C See the water towers D G From the interstate C Looks like a party Am D At the rocky road
[Verse 2]
C When we were younger D G And our eyes were clear C We bit the under D G On the rearview mirror C The rolling thunder Am D Ringing in our ears
[Chorus]
C G C G Here I am now, I'm torn and tattered C G Em D All mixed up in the local crowd C G C G Well, I remember when all that mattered C G D C G Was getting older and leaving town
[Verse 3]
C Out in the alley D G By the parking lot C Cheatwood and Linda D C Out taking shots C Not even sneaking Am D In the broad daylight
[Verse 4]
C And there's folding tables D G And there's Christmas lights C Somebody told me D G You'd be back tonight C Some kid who's playing Am D A Woody Guthrie song
[Chorus]
C G C G Here I am now, I'm torn and tattered C G Em D All mixed up in the local crowd C G C G Well, I remember when all that mattered C G D C Was getting older and leaving town
[Instrumental Break]
G C G C
G D G
[Verse 5]
C Porch swing is hanging D G From the cottonwood C I turned the corner D G And there you stood C Smiled like you used to Am D And all the world's outside
[Verse 6]
C I'm mostly happy D G With the life I chose C But here's the window D G That was painted closed C Let's bust it open Am D While the night's still young
[Out-Chorus]
C G C G Here I am now, I'm torn and tattered C G Em D All mixed up in the local crowd C G C G Well, I remember when all that mattered C G D C Was getting older and leaving town
