INTRO:
C G F
C G F
VERSE:
C
I swear I don't know how I trusted
F
A Montero with the AC busted
C G
A couple bad demos on a burned CD
F
Would take me all the way to Tennessee
C
I showed up to the new apartment
F
First month's, last month's, two deposits
C G
Hadn't heard the sound of a door slam yet
F
Thank God I was an optimist
CHORUS:
C
I drove circles around this town
F
Tryna ride circles around this town
G
Tryna say something with meanin'
F
Somethin' worth singin' about
C
I've been kind and I've been ruthless
F
Yeah, I got here but the truth is
G
Thought when I'd hit it, it'd all look different
F
But I still got the pedal down
C F
Drivin' circles around this tow-ow-own
VERSE:
C G
So many times I thought about leaving
F
Got my ass kicked tryin' to compete with
C
Everybody else is ones that got away
F
Hung around long enough to catch a break
C
Couple hundred songs and the ones that finally worked
F
Was the one about a car and the one about a church
N.C.
That I wrote
CHORUS:
C
Drivin' circles around this town
F
Tryna ride circles around this town
G
Tryna say something with meanin'
F
Somethin' worth singin' about
C
I've been kind and I've been ruthless
F
Yeah, I got here but the truth is
G
Thought when I'd hit it, it'd all look different
F
But I still got the pedal down
C F
Drivin' circles around this tow-ow-own
G F
Drivin' circles around this tow-ow-own
Hey !

Ah, yeah
