Introduction: F7+    C    F7+    C    

     F7+                                                            C  
The    altar boys are sneaking cigarettes
          F7+                                                                                            C  
The friends and neighbours offering their regrets
          F7+                                                                 Em            Am  
The station wagons in the pouring rain
          F7+                                                                 G  
And all that water going down the drain
     F7+                                                                                    C  
A         white lace dress for when I turn thirteen
                F7+                                                                                                 C  
And a bright red stain that wouldn't quite come clean
F                                                                            Em  
Walking by the football field
                                     Am  
Trying out my sex appeal
                F                                                                                    C4         G  
While all around the leaves are turning brown
             F                                 C                    F      C  
This used to be my town
     F7+                                                                              C  
He      waited by the swing-set in the park
        F7+                                                                              C  
He tore at my new raincoat in the dark
          F                                                                                 Em  
And all that I could think about was
                                                  Am                            F  
Getting through and getting out
                                                                                                        C4      G  
And how the night could fall without a sound
             F                                 C                      F      C      F      C      F      C  
This used to be my town
     F7+                                                                                      C  
I'm    flying through the clouds as white as snow
          F7+                                                              C  
I'm looking at the people down below
          F                                                                                            Em  
The whole world holds its breath for me
                                                  Am                 F  
The priest evokes eternity
                                                                                          C4      G  
And everywhere the rain is pouring down
             F                                 C  
This used to be my town
             F                                 C  
This used to be my town
