VERSE:
               F                        C
Hand-me-down dreams got me high in the rafters
             G                      Am
Homecoming queen couldn’t be an outsider
              F                    C                 G
So there I’d sit, with a cigarette lit in a leather jacket
 
          F                      C
I found a boy who was a stranger too
                G                  Am
In a one-horse town at a table for two
                  F                 C
We had matching scars, matching tattoos
               G
Both dyin’ to fit in
 
            F       C  G
Ain’t that some shit
            Am               F   C  G
We’re just small town hypocrites
 
 
VERSE:
                  F                   C
And that scholarship was a ship that sailed
              G                     Am
When I chose you and daddy gave me hell
           F                C            G
I made myself into someone else just to love you,
 G
Damn I loved you
 
              F                       C
Took all my plans and I put ‘em in a box
          G                    Am
Phantom pains for the wings I lost
                  F               C
Had me circling rings in the catalogs
            G
For seven years and you never got the hint
 
            F     C   G
Ain’t that some shit
                            F   C  G
I’m just a small town hypocrite
 
 
CHORUS:
               F                 Am           G
Swore we’d be running, running, running this town
                  F                Am        G
But you’re just running, running, running around
                      F      Am
And I’m staring at a picket fence
                     G
Wonderin’ where the hell time went
                  F                 Am         G
I should’ve been running, running, running by now
            F      Am   G
But I just hang around
  F    Am    G
Ooooooooooohhhhhhh
 
 
VERSE:
 F                       C
Love shot me out like a rocket
            G                 Am
Never to return and man, I forgot it
         F                 C
How it feels to fall from orbit
     G
And land on a shifting sands
 
             F                        C
I found my heart at the bottom of a bookcase
                      G                    Am
You said you needed space and damn that I bought it
           F                      C
‘Til you moved in a vinyl-sided double-wide
        G
With a couple of her kids
 
            F    C   G
Ain’t that some shit
                               F   C
You’re just a small town hypocrite
 G
Ohhh oh
 
 
CHORUS:
               F                 Am           G
Swore we’d be running, running, running this town
                  F                Am        G
But you’re just running, running, running around
                      F      Am
And I’m staring at a picket fence
                     G
Wonderin’ where the hell time went
                  F                 Am         G
I should’ve been running, running, running by now
            F    Am   G   G          F   Am  G
But I just haaaaaaaaaang arou-ou-ou-ound
 
 
OUTRO:
            F               Am               G
Oh, now I bitch about how things turned and how they should’ve been
      F             Am                      G
The bridges that I burned and the trains I didn’t catch
                        F   Am  G
Like a small town hypocrite
                 F       Am   G
Just a small town  hypocrite
