Little Town

Bm

[Verse 1]
Bm                                
It's nothing that you did, you 
         F#m
gotta understand
                      G        
You're taking it too fast, it's 
   A             D
going way too fast
                       Bm          
It's nothing that you did, it's not
                     G
 the color of your skin
                           D       
The one thing you should know, you 
                A
gotta take it slow
G                                 
What they call the shifting of the
   A                  Bm
 sands I see as your demands
                             G
When you change you can't ignore
                            D
What things are and were before

[Chorus 1]
     G              A     
My family has been here for 
       D
generations
     G                A         
And now I have two children of my 
   D
own
       C                      Bm  
And I knew that I would stay here,
   C                 Bm
 always knew I'd stay here
                                 A
It's not a new world that you found
                     G
It's just a little town

[Verse 2]
           Bm                   
Everybody knows who was born and 
   F#m
raised here
                   G           A  
The mayor is my friend, I've known
              D
 him all my life
                 Bm                
Each year he and I plan the Fourth 
     G
of July

                     D       
So why'd he ask you too? You, 
             A
especially you?
G                            
He said this town, for all its 
    A                           Bm
pride, it's been dying from inside
                           G
And we've got to find our way
                               D
We'll start with Independence Day

[Chorus 2]
            G             A       
And as the fireworks came up above
       D
 the mountain
    G                A            
I saw you put your hand up to your
   Bm
 heart
       C               Bm      C 
And I saw the mayor watching, 
                 Bm
knew my kids were watching
                         A
Hope that I would come around
                    G
Big parade, little town

[Bridge]

G                           A    
Now the months come after months 
           Bm        F#m
and every Fourth of July
G              A                 
We help our children putting all 
     Bm           F#m
the flags on the line
G                A               
Up and down the Main Street, 
    Bm               F#m
every country that we're from
C                      Bm
Like the mayor always wanted
C                          Bm    
He's been gone for seven years 
      A
now

[Verse 3]
D                  Bm            
It's quiet by the lake, walking 
        F#m
with our dogs
                 G             A  
How long has it been, oh it's been
              D
 a long time now
                     Bm            
We talk about this town, you're the
              G
 mayor of it now
                    D            
They're all moving here, everyone 
         A
comes here
    G                              
We like to say we don't get out 
   A
that much
                                Bm
'Cause the whole world comes to us
                             G     
We can't blame them now, we say, we
                    D
 are just a little great
         G                 A
And you know that I'm not proud
                                 Bm
Those things I dared to say out loud
                     G             
But you wave it all away, my 
                    D
friend, you wave it all away

[Chorus 3]
        G               A         
But my kids, they went off in all 
   D
directions
       G                   A      
And I know it's thanks to you they
       Bm
 have returned
C                        Bm      
They have all this understanding,
   C              Bm
 all this understanding
                          A
They have been the world around
And they came back to our little 
G
town
