Intro -x2-:
[E] [B] [A]
Verse:
[E]I swear I don't know how I trusted
[A]a Montero with the AC busted
a c[E]couple bad demos on a burned C[B]CD
Would t[A]take me all the way to Tennessee
[E]I showed up to the new apartment
F[A]First month's, last month's, two deposits
H[E]Hadn't heard the sound of a door slam y[B]yet
Thank G[A]God I was an optimist
Chorus:
I drove c[E]circles around this town
Tryna ride c[A]circles around this town
T[B]Tryna say something with meanin'
Somethin' worth s[A]singin' about
I've been k[E]kind and I've been ruthless
Yeah, I g[A]got here but the truth is
T[B]Thought when I'd hit it, it'd all look different
But [A]I still got the pedal down
Drivin' c[E]circles around this tow-ow-o[A]tow-ow-own
Verse:
[E]So many times I thought about l[B]leaving
G[A]Got my ass kicked tryin' to compete with
E[E]Everybody else is ones that got away
Hung aro[A]around long enough to catch a break
C[E]Couple hundred songs and the ones that finally worked
Was the o[A]one about a car and the one about a church
That I wrote
Chorus:
Drivin' c[E]circles around this town
Tryna ride c[A]circles around this town
T[B]Tryna say something with meanin'
Somethin' worth s[A]singin' about
I've been k[E]kind and I've been ruthless
Yeah, I g[A]got here but the truth is
T[B]Thought when I'd hit it, it'd all look different
But [A]I still got the pedal down
Drivin' c[E]circles around this tow-ow-o[A]tow-ow-own
Drivin' c[B]circles around this tow-ow-o[A]tow-ow-own
Hey !
Instrumental:

Chorus:
I drove c[E]circles around this town
Tryna ride c[A]circles around this town
T[B]Tryna say something with meanin'
Somethin' worth s[A]singin' about
I've been k[E]kind and I've been ruthless
Yeah, I g[A]got here but the truth is
T[B]Thought when I'd hit it, it'd all look different
But [A]I still got the pedal down
I still get lost, I still get found
Drivin' c[E]ircles around this t[E]ow-[B]ow-o[A]wn
[E]Ah, yeah [B] [A] [E]
