[Verse 1]
F
Hand-me-down dreams got me high in the
C
rafters
G
Homecoming queen couldn’t be an
Am
outsider
F                                            C
So there I’d sit, with a cigarette lit,
G
in a leather jacket
F                                           C
I found a boy who was a stranger too
G                                           Am
In a one-horse town at a table for two
F
We had matching scars and matching
C
tattoos
G
Both dyin’ to fit in
F               C               G
Ain’t that some shit?
F                             C                             G
We’re just small town hypocrites

[Verse 2]
F
And that scholarship was a ship that
C
sailed
G                                         Am
When I chose you and daddy gave me hell
F                                           C
I made myself into someone else just to
G
love you, damn, I loved you
F
Took all my plans and I put ’em in a
C
box
G                                           Am
Phantom pains for the wings I lost
F                                           C
Had me circling rings in the catalogs
G
For seven years, and you never got the hint
F               C               G
Ain’t that some shit?
F                             C               G
I’m just a small town hypocrite

[Chorus]
F                                                         C
Swore we’d be running, running, running
G
this town
F
But you’re just running, running,
C               G
running around
F                                           C
And I’m staring at a picket fence
G                                           Am
Wonderin’ where the hell time went
F
I should’ve been running, running,
C                             G
running by now
F     C         G      Am
But I just hang around
F C G Am
Oooooh

[Verse 3]
F                             C
Love shot me out like a rocket
G                                           Am
Never to return, and man, I forgot it
F                                           C
How it feels to fall from orbit and
G
land on shifting sands
F
I found my heart at the bottom of a
C
bookcase
G
You said you needed space, and damnit,
Am
I bought it
F
‘Til you moved in a vinyl-sided
C G
double-wide with a couple of her kids
F C G
Ain’t that some shit?
F C G
You’re just a small town hypocrite

[Chorus]
F C
Swore we’d be running, running, running
G
this town
F
But you’re still running, running,
C G
running around
F C
And I’m staring at a picket fence
G Am
Wonderin’ where the hell time went
F
I should’ve been running, running,
C G
running by now
F C G
But I just hang around
F C G

[Outro]
F C
Oh, now I bitch about how things turned
G
and how they should’ve been
F C
The bridges that I burned and the
G
trains I didn’t catch
F C G
Like a small town hypocrite
F C G
Just a small town hypocrite
F C G
Like a small town hypocrite
F C G
Just a small town hypocrite
