[Intro] F# - Bmaj7 2x [Verse 1] F# This is a first rate town But all you ever notice Are the ways it's stretched too far Bmaj7 And it has been knocked down But some of us are still Left here between the scars F# When you look around All you ever notice is That you can not see the stars Bmaj7 This is a first rate town, a first rate town you know You just can't see very far

it against me

'Cause they'll hold
it against me

[Verse 2]
F#
When the last door
closed
You packed your
clothes
And went back to
Montreal
Bmaj7
Said it was colder
there
A chill hangs into
the air
It helps you forget
it all
G#m
You left and empty
bookshelf
That I did not fill
till fall
B
This is a first
rate
town a first rate
town
you know
You just can't see it
at all

[Verse 3]
F#
This is a first rate
town
F#
And all you ever notice
F#
Are the ways it's
stretched
too far
Bmaj7
They keep the death rates
down
Bmaj7
It's colder than a winter
Bmaj7
Spent in defrosting cars
G#m
We talked a lot of leaving
G#m
Didn't think you'd get that
far
Bmaj7
This is a fiirst rate town a
fiirst rate town you know
F#
You just can't see very far
