Damn I used to love this view, sit here and drink a few
G#m E
Main street and the high school, lit up on Friday night

Down there it's another touchdown, Man this year’s team is stout
G#m E
I can hear em going crazy, and up here so am I
[Pre-chorus]
F# E
Thinkin about you sittin there sayin I hate this, I hate it
F# E F#
If you couldn’t stand livin here why’d you take it, take it?
[Chorus]

Give me back my hometown

Cause this is my hometown

All the colors of my youth, the red the green the hope the truth
G#m E
Are beating me black and blue cause your in every scene.
B
My friends try to cheer me up, we get together at the Pizza Hut
G#m E
I didn’t have the heart to tell em that was our place
[Pre-chorus]

These sleepy streetlights on every sidewalk, side street
F# E F#
Shed a light on everything that used to be
