                       D                                                             G 
He's got a flat wheel at the side of the road,
 D                                                                           G 
The rain's coming down, it's getting cold,
 A                                                                     D 
A car pulls over on the interstate,
 G                                                                                 A 
Says wait there, I gotta check your plates.
 D                                                         G 
He comes back to sound the alarm,
 D                                                                         G 
Makes it clear to the boy that he's armed,
 A                                                                               D 
Says I don't know if I've seen you around,
 G                                                               A

Officer I grew up in this town,
 D                     G                           A 
Surely you must've seen me around,

I go to school with two o' your sons,

Interlude

 D                                                                         G 
The cop smiled and he pulled out his gun.
 D                                                                                 G 
He said what planet do you think that I'm from?
 A                                                                           D 
There was a pause and the moment was tight,
 G                                                                     A 
the boy knew he couldn't win this fight.
 D                                                                   G 
So he turned and he ran like the wind,
 D                                                                 G 
shots fired and the bullets went in.
 A                                                                 D 
And he thought as he lay on the ground
 G                                                                             A 
I can't believe I'm gonna die in this town.
 D                                 G                   A
