Y[C]You say we're both
little people and you like it that way
B[Am]But in time I'm gunna put this
body to shame -and grow old-
W[F]Where a suit like my old man
P[G]Pack up all my things and get my tail out of town
We've got it g[C]good
Whether you like this town or [Am]not
I know it's small but with a big head
it's bound to get h[F]hot
In the summer
But the summer is a bummer
If y[G]you can't leave
This pathetic excuse for a t[Am]town
T[Am]That holds all your memories
a[C]a lifetime of crushes and your broken dreams
T[F]To be anywhere but here
B[G]But baby anywhere is away from me
I[C]If you got it all figu[Am]figured out
Then what is there to s[F]shout about
This m[G]midwest town is gunna miss you
J[C]Just go ahead and wo[Am]work it out
But first come on and l[F]let it out
S[G]Scream it shout tell everbody that your gunna leave
I[C]In about one year you'll have it all figured out
T[Am]These big city dream are what you're about
W[F]Walking like stangers among these states
O[G]Only time will tell how long I can wait
We've got it g[C]good
Whether you like this town or [Am]not
I know it's small but with a big head
