Capo I
(D)They're building up big houses
Back behind the school
Where we used to (Asus4)drink our beer on Friday nights
And (G)pretend that we were lovers in your (D)car
(D)We can't afford to live there
So we drive on past their marble and glass
(Asus4)Hoping that this blue collar (G)town of ours
Won't ever lose its (D)balls
CHORUS
(Asus4)I was just a little (G)girl
When your (Asus4)hand brushed by my (G)hand
And I will (Asus4)be an old (G)woman
Happy to have spent my whole life with one (D)man
(D)Behind that school we found romance
We laid in the dirt and took off our shirts
While the (Asus4)lucky ones would fly away
On (G)planes to other cities, other (D)towns
(D)Now they're building up houses
Big enough to lose your love
(Asus4)Big enough to never even (G)see
One another in the (D)dark
CHORUS
(Asus4)One man, one (G)town is all I need
A (Asus4)simple plan to guide me
Through the (G)simple life I lead
(Asus4)I have seen the ocean and (G)I have seen the sky
I do not need a big house or the ability to (D)fly
(D)We'll remember the summers
The crumbling town streets, running from police
And (Asus4)acting like we'd leave this place
The (G)minute we ever had (D)the chance
CHORUS
