[Intro]
D A Bm

[Verse 1]
D
Let's pack our stuff now
D
And run away
A                       Bm
We can't be all we want in
this small town
D
Our life was rough so
                    A
Let's make our days what we want
          Bm
And I'll give you my last name

[Pre-Chorus]
       Em       D        A
We'll take our chances after
             Bm
all these letdowns
       Em        D       A
Let's keep our patience until
               Bm
ourselves are found

[Chorus]
Bm
All we wanted
A               D         G
Was a place to feel like home
Bm
That's why we parted
A                 D        G
From our ways to heal our souls
Bm               A
I'm a small town miserable man
     D            G  A
That does what he can
Bm              A
I'm a small town miserable man
     D           G  A
That does what he can (mhmhmh)
I'm a miserable man

And we're okay
A
We have some kids
    Bm
And built our dream house
D
We're eating dinner
so we're saying grace
A                     Bm
Without the light we wouldn't
find our way

[Pre-Chorus]
Em           D
How are we standing
      A          Bm
From misery to this now?
Em                 D
Cause we've been stranded
      A                D
To screaming this out loud
