And every lie I've ever told

Goes up in flames on a Sunday after church
 
    C
Yet no one in this town seems to remember my name
      Am
After all the things we've been through

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



 
Sneakin' jack and football games
        Fsus2
But it's all the same
                         C
No one evеr changes in a place like this
 
        C
Wеll, I needed that woman like a bird needs a nest

  Fsus2
A mind to find the reason behind

Why God put me on this earth

of this ghost town that I'm in
                 Am
Nobody will ever know
       Fsus2        C
If I'm comin' back again
                Am
Somebody get me out
        Fsus2               C
Of this ghost town that I'm in

Nobody will ever know

If I'm comin' back again
 
 
[Verse]
        C
Well, I went and jointed the navy
 
Just for my daddy's sake
        Am
So he'd stop tellin' all his friends
 
I was his one mistake
       Fsus2
And he told me he was proud
                                   C
For the first time in a long time yesterday
 
      C
And I need my mama like musicians need their dream
          Am
Yeah, she told me I'd be famous
 
And all the girls would scream
        Fsus2
For her son up in the lights
 
I get so mad I fight
          C
She's not with me here today
 
C
Who is this big God to make
 
A busted boy like me
Am
All my imperfections are apart of His carpentry
      Fsus2
And I hope I get to ask Him
                               C
Why He put me through all this pain one day
 
 
[Outro]
                Am
Somebody get me out
        Fsus2               C
of this ghost town I'm in
                 Am
Nobody will ever know
       Fsus2        C
If I'm comin' back again
                Am
Somebody get me out
        Fsus2               C
Of this ghost town that I'm in
                 Am*
Nobody will ever know
          Fsus2*       C*
I'm never comin' home again
