[Intro]
 Bm  D  G
   D   A    G

[Verse 1]
 Bm
County line,
 I'm countin' down
 D
Mailboxes until my house
                  G
This place had a heartbeat
          D
 in it's day
                 A
Vail bought the mountains,
                          G
 and nothing was the same
          Bm
Yes, the boys are drunk,
 the sun is high
       D
Their license plates
 "Live Free or Die"
                    G
But it just ain't that simple,
               D
 it never was
                  A
We'll drink 'til New Year's,
then they'll leave me
       G
 to clean up

[Chorus]
         D    F#
One day, I'm gonna
         Bm
 cut it clear
                  G
Ride like Paul Revere
And, when they ask
          A
me who I am
                G
I'll say, "I'm not
              D
from around here"

[Verse 2]
      Bm
I'll leave before the
 road crew's out
              D
Before those joggers
 looking way too proud
                      G
And I'll turn up the music
             D
And I'll forget
         A
Until it ends, that
                      G
I'm not ready to let go yet

[Chorus]
         D    F#
One day, I'm gonna
         Bm
cut it clear
                  G
Ride like Paul Revere
And, when they ask
          A
 me who I am
            G
I'll just pretend
           D
 I didn't hear
      F#         Bm
It's typical, I fear
                 G
Folks just disappear
And, when they ask
          A
 me who I am
                G
I'll say, "I'm not
             D
from around here"
   F#    Bm    G

[Post-Chorus]
A
 I'll say, "I'm not
 G             Bm
 from around here"

[Outro]
            A
But I'm in my car
            E/G#
And I see the yard
               G
The patch of grass
           F#           Bm
where we buried the dog
               A
And the world makes sense
           E/G#
Behind a chain-link fence
            G
If I could leave,
             F#        Bm
I would've already left
            A
But I'm in my car
            E/G#
And I see the yard
               G
The patch of grass where
     F#            Bm
 we buried the dog
               A
And the world makes sense
           E/G#
Behind a chain-link fence
            G
If I could leave,
            F#            G
 I would've already left
A                    Bm
 I would've already left
