Break Up In a Small Town

Intro: Em
G
 I knew I'd see her around
                                                 Em
 I'd be at some party, she'd show up and I'd be walking out
                           D
 Across some parking lot, hiding behind her sister
                              G
 I'd look up, she'd be at the red light beside me
 In that white max with the sticker on the back
                             Em
 I'd act like I didn't see her
 And we'd pay at the same pumps
 Flip through the same stations
 And slow down for the same curves
                       C
 Run around with the same crowds
 We just needed some time
 She could get on with her life and I'd get on with mine
                      D
 Thought I would be fine, but maybe not
 I knew she'd find a way to get over me
 But I'd never thought that

                Em                   C
 She would get down with somebody I know
                              D
 I guess that's just how it goes
                          G

 I see our friends and they put on a show
                             D
 Like they don't want me to know
                      G     D
 So they give me the go-around
                  C                        G
 But there's only so many streets and so many lights
                    D            G    D    Em
 I swear it's like I can't even leave my house
                           C
 I should have known all along
                         D
 You gotta move and move on

 For a while I guess they were keeping it low-key
                                                    Em
 And now it's like these county lines closing in on me
 I see em everywhere together
 And it's getting a little too close to home
        C
 She's so far gone, but she didn't go far
 She was over me before the grass grew back where she used to park her car
                      D
 She's leaving those same marks in someone else's yard
 In someone else's arms right down the road
 And I never thought

               Em                    C
 She would get down with somebody I know
                              D
 I guess that's just how it goes
                          G

 Her mailbox is seven minutes from mine
C                           D                                             G
 And I drive in the town sometimes and I see her there sittin there with him
         D                   Em                             C
 I want to jump out I want to fight I want to say .... that guy
                            D
 But I can't cause it's my fault and I let her go
