Hometown

Tom : A

[Intro]
So I'm playin' the drums, right? Okay

[Primeira Parte]
D G Em
Davie died in the summertime in a hotboxed car
D G Em
With a seatbelt 'round his neck and a needle in his arm
D G Em
We'd smoke out in the parkin' lot behind convenient shops
D G
A bought a couple of grams of weed off him
Em
But so did all the cops
D G
Back then, the kids from other county
Em
We would walk out in the heat
D G
'Long the train tracks with our paper bags
Em
And gravel in our feet
D G
In our heads, we picked the husband
Em
From the hundred men we knew
D G
But I kissed a poster of a pop star
Em
And checked my breasts in casе they grew

[Refrão]
D G
Therе ain't a reason on this earth
Em
I'd go back to my hometown
D G
Somewhere in the clouds
Em
Davie's runnin' for a touchdown
D G
The crowd appears and his mother cheers
Em
She's wavin' from the field

[Próxima Parte]
D G
And he's evergreen as seventeen
Em
For the last eleven years
D G Em
Ooh-ooh, ah
D G Em
Ooh-ooh, ah

[Segunda Parte]
D G
No, I never felt like anyone
Em
I was a paradoxul lie
D G
I didn't think that I was special
Em
But I was too afraid to die
D G
Like the others from my high school
Em
All those sad suburban ghosts
D G
Trapped in a cross next to a highway
Em
While the rest of us get old

[Refrão]
[Próxima Parte]
D G
And he's evergreen as seventeen
Em
For the last eleven years
D G Em
Ooh-ooh, ah
D G Em
Ooh-ooh, ah

[Ponte]
D G Em
The American dream means stayin' young forever
D G
And the picture in our pamphlet
Em
Gettin' yellow from the weather
D G
And years will pass since science class
Em
And I might forget your name
D G
But when the crow's feet come, the kingdom come
Em
Well, you'll always look the same

[Refrão 2x]
[Próxima Parte]
D G
And he's evergreen as seventeen
Em
For the last eleven years
D G Em
Ooh-ooh, ah (Evergreen as seventeen)
D G Em
Ooh-ooh, ah (Evergreen as seventeen)
