F
Ooh, silence is making me nostalgic
Dm
Two sizes big your shirt in my apartment
A#                                C
Oh, we were kids, but that don't make this less hard
F
If I could fly I doubt I'd even do it
Dm
I'd probably get high and crash or something stupid
A#                       C
You made Ohio feel just like Central Park

Dm                     F
Liberal rednecks get drunk on a dirt road
A#                 F             C
Attention deficit kids in their gym clothes
Dm                   F
Paper bags drift wherever the wind blows
    A#
And mine's full of receipts

Chorus:
A#         F              Dm
Ooh, this town’s for the record now
                       A#      F
The intersection got a Target
                       Dm
And they're calling it downtown
A#              F            Dm
You and all of your new perspective now
                           A#   F
Wish I could shut it in a closet
                  Dm
And drag you back down

Gave me your word and now I can't pronounce it
No thing so sure that I can't learn to doubt it
Now the state bird, it sings our song so out of key

Liberal rednecks get drunk on a dirt road
Attention deficit kids in their gym clothes
Paper bags drift wherever the wind blows
And mine's full of receipts

Chorus

                   A# F Dm
And drag you back down

Liberal rednecks get drunk on a dirt road
Attention deficit kids in their gym clothes
Paper bags drift wherever the wind blows
And mine's full of receipts

Chorus:
Ooh, this town's for the record now
The intersection got a Target
And they're calling it downtown
You and all of your new perspective now
Wish I could shut it in a closet
And drag you back down
And drag you back down
And drag you back down
