F Am G From up here this town don’t look so bad F I’m looking down at this place I hate and Am G at least for a second it seems okay F G But I’m not getting over it Am Getting used to it F It’s been so long since everything seemed to fit G Am And it’s not a case of being scared or undeserving F G C I’m just questioning the purpose of leaving Am G F what I thought was pulling me down C/E Am G C/E F G But I’ll bite my tongue and grit my teeth Am I’ll leave my heart where I leave my home G I never thought that I’d be on my own C/E I never knew that I had this in me F G I kinda think it came all too quickly Am F G C/E But I know that growing up’s a part of growing up F So I guess I’ll just face the facts and throw my bags up on this broken back I’ll learn from my mistakes and find a place where I can breathe Somewhere that I can breathe Am I’ll miss the smell of the rain on my road The dirty streets of the town I call home F My friends that kept me from feeling alone G And the broken promises you made that forced me to grow And I’ll miss the paths I’ve walked a thousand times The mistakes that I made, the lessons learned from the nights That I spent with my friends in this town I resent All ‘cause this is the last of time that I’ll spend around here You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm ![]() C ![]() E ![]() F ![]() G ![]() Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
