C
Damn I used to love this view, sit here and drink a few
F
Main street and the high school, up on Friday night
C
Down there there’s another touchdown, Man this year’s team is stout
F
I can hear em going crazy, and up here so am I 

[Pre-Chorus]
G                         Am            F
Thinkin about you sittin there sayin I hate this, I hate it
G                                                    Am              F
If you couldn’t stand livin here why’d you take it, take it? 

[Chorus]
C       G      Am   F              C
Give me back my hometown 
C                     G              C
Cause this is my hometown 

[Verse 2]
C
All the colors of my youth, the red the green the hope the truth
F
Are beating me black and blue cause your in every scene. 
C
My friends try to cheer me up, we get together at the Pizza Hut 
F
I didn’t have the heart to tell em that was our place 

[Pre-Chorus]
G                                               Am      F
These sleepy streetlights on every sidewalk, side street
G                       Am                F 
Shed a light on everything that used to be 

[Chorus]
C       G      Am   F              C
Give me back my hometown 
C                     G              C
Cause this is my hometown


[Bridge]
Am
You can have my grandma’s locket, the knife outta my grandpa’s pocket
F
My state champion jacket, I don’t care you can have it 
Am
Every vague memory. every picture every broken dream 
F
Yeah everything, everything, everything 

[Chorus]
C       G      Am   F              C
Give me back my hometown 
C                     G              C
Cause this is my hometown
