[Verse 1]
F
You were a friend of mine
Bb
When I worked twice a week on the weekends
Gm F
Two teenage dirtbags
F
And I know that it's different now
Bb Gm
And I heard you moved out where the lake never freezes
Bb Gm
I'm not mad, I just don't really see it
F Bb Gm
[Verse 2]
F
Yeah, you were a friend of mine
Bb
Now I'm working the night shift on Beatrice
Gm
And I go to bed to rise
F Bb
And I play with this local band
Gm Bb F Bb
And the money is shit but I've got somewhere to sleep at night
[Chorus]
F
And I'm just stuck in this town I can't handle
Dm
Watching you light it up
Gm
From a north end parking lot
Bb
While I'm just setting off Roman candles
F
'Cause I'm just stuck in this town I can't handle
Dm
Watching you light it up
Gm
From a north end parking lot
Bb F
While I'm just setting off Roman candles
[Bridge]
F
Now where do I put this all down?
Dm
I carry it high in my chest
Gm Bb
Tastes like blood in the mouth
F
And when the gun powder's all rung out
Dm
I'll bury it deep in the dirt
Gm
Raise my glass to the ground
Bb
To the lowly dirtbags
[Chorus]
F
And I'm just stuck in this town I can't handle
Dm
Watching you light it up
Gm
From a north end parking lot
Bb
While I'm just setting off Roman candles
F
'Cause I'm just stuck in this town I can't handle
Dm
Watching you light it up
Gm
From a north end parking lot
Bb
While I'm just setting off Roman candles
Gm Bb x2
Dm Gm Bb
I'm just setting off Roman candles
F*
I'm just stuck in this town I can't handle
Dm*
Watching you light it up
Gm*
And I know you're gonna light it up
Bb*
While I'm just setting off Roman candles
