[Verse 1]

 C
You say we're both little people and you like it that way
 Am
But in time I'm gunna put this body to shame (and grow old)
 F
Where a suit like my old man
 G
Pack up all my things and get my tail out of town


[Pre-Chorus]

              C
We've got it good
                              Am
Whether you like this town or not
                 
I know it's small but with a big head
                   F
it's bound to get hot

In the summer

But the summer is a bummer
    G
If you can't leave
                            Am
This pathetic excuse for a town


 Am
That holds all your memories
 C
A lifetime of crushes and your broken dreams
 F
To be anywhere but here
 G
But baby anywhere is away from me


[Chorus]

 C                    Am
If you got it all figured out
                       F
Then what is there to shout about
      G
This midwest town is gunna miss you
 C                  Am
Just go ahead and work it out
                       F
But first come on and let it out
 G
Scream it shout tell everbody that your gunna leave


[Verse 2]
 
 C
In about one year you'll have it all figured out
 Am
These big city dream are what you're about
 F
Walking like stangers among these states
 G
Only time will tell how long I can wait


[Pre-Chorus]

              C
We've got it good
                              Am
Whether you like this town or not

I know it's small but with a big head
                   F
it's bound to get hot

In the summer

But the summer is a bummer
    G
If you can't leave
                            Am
This pathetic excuse for a town


 Am
That holds all your memories
 C
A lifetime of crushes and your broken dreams
 F
To be anywhere but here
 G
But baby anywhere is away from me


[Chorus]

 C                  Am
If you got it all figured out
                       F
Then what is there to shout about
       G
This midwest town is gunna miss you
 C                  Am 
Just go ahead and work it out
                       F
But first come on and let it out
  G
Scream it shout tell everbody that your gunna leave


[Outro]

 Am               F
Me again oh so casually
                  C                  G
Did you take the hit for me or the home team

 
 C                   Am
If you got it all figured out
                       F
Then what is there to shout about
       G
This midwest town is gunna miss you
