Introdução: E
E
You just thought you knew about rumors man
E
But you aint ever lived in my town
E
Population 153
E
And its still goin' down
A
What's his name's still runnin' around with Mary
E
Hell last I heard he'd already been married 3 times
E
You've been gone for what, about 8 years now
E
And they're still spreading rumors about you
E
You grew your hair long and shaggy
E
And gettin' drunk is all that you do
A
They forgot that you play your music
E
Yeah they gave up on you a long time ago
D
God bless this town
A E
It's so good to be back home
D
Yeah, how you been doin'
A E
Lord, I know it's been so long
D
Tell your family hello
A E
I'm sure I'll see you around
F#m A
Be sure to close the doors and lock 'em up
E
God bless this town
E
Small towns are supposed to be small
E
Until being big gets in the way
E
A man doesn't play by their rules
E
Then he's not welcome to stay
A
And politics don't care about 21 years of service
E
Being a puppet is something he'll never be
Repeat Chorus
C#m C
Keep talking all you want
A E
I guess that's all you ever do
F#m
Soon I'll find my place
A
And I'll wave as I pass through
Repeat Chorus
E
Yeah you just thought you knew rumors man
E
But you ain't never lived in my town
