Tom: C
Am F
I got out and stayed away
C
And I just visit family and friends
Am F
I tell stories to keep em entertained
C
And they believe every word I say
Am F
And there ain't much to this town I guess
C
But I'll probably come back to die
Am F
Ain't it funny how some things never change
C
And how hard it is to cover up lies
[Chorus]
Am F
'Cause Ferndale Creek still runs the same
C
As it did five years ago
Am F
And the high school still does an awful job
C
Of teaching kids what they need to know
Am F
And my ex-girlfriend's got two boyfriends
C
And that's funny as hell to me
Am
I guess that's how it goes
F C
When you stay back home and never leave
Am F C
Am F C
[Verse]
Am
You talk trash
F
You're cussin up and down
C
That you were here to make the first move
Am F
Pretty soon they'll make you the mayor
C
Or at least you hope they do
Am
And I may be wrong
F
Hell it might be heaven
C
But every time I pass that sign
Am
It's the same old stuff
F
Ain't a damn thing changed
C
Cause everybody's high
[Chorus]
Am F
'Cause Ferndale Creek still runs the same
C
As it did five years ago
Am F
And the high school still does an awful job
C
Of teaching kids what they need to know
Am F
And my ex-girlfriend's got two boyfriends
C
And that's funny as hell to me
Am
I guess that's how it goes
F C
When you stay back home and never leave
[Solo]
Am F C (x4)
[Chorus]
Am F
'Cause Ferndale Creek still runs the same
C
As it did five years ago
Am F
And the high school still does an awful job
C
Of teaching kids what they need to know
Am F
And my ex-girlfriend's got two boyfriends
C
And that's funny as hell to me
Am
I guess that's how it goes
F C
When you stay back home and never leave
Am F
'Cause Ferndale Creek still runs the same
C
As it did five years ago
Am F
And the high school still does an awful job
C
Of teaching kids what they need to know
Am F
And my ex-girlfriend's got two boyfriends
C
And that's funny as hell to me
Am
I guess that's how it goes
F C
When you stay back home and never leave
Am
I guess that's how it goes
F C
When you stay back home and never leave
Ahhh yeah
Am F C (x2)
[Outro]
Am F
And there ain't much to this town I guess
C
But I'll probably come back to die
Am
I guess we'll see just how that goes
F C
When I move back home and never leave
