[Verse 1]
F
You were a friend of mine
Bb
  When I worked twice a week on the 
weekends
Gm             F
  Two teenage dirtbags
F
And I know that it's different now
Bb                                
  And I heard you moved out where 
               Gm
the lake never freezes
Bb                               
I'm not mad, I just don't really see
Gm
 it

F Bb Gm

[Verse 2]
F
Yeah, you were a friend of mine
Bb
Now I'm working the night shift on 
Beatrice
Gm
And I go to bed to rise
F                     Bb
And I play with this local band
Gm                                
And the money is shit but I've got
              Bb           F Bb
 somewhere to sleep at night

[Chorus]
     F
And I'm just stuck in this town I 
can't handle
Dm
Watching you light it up
       Gm
From a north end parking lot
      Bb
While I'm just setting off Roman 
candles

        F
'Cause I'm just stuck in this town I
 can't handle
Dm
Watching you light it up
       Gm
From a north end parking lot
      Bb                        
While I'm just setting off Roman 
        F
candles

[Bridge]
F
Now where do I put this all down?
           Dm
I carry it high in my chest
            Gm                  Bb
Tastes like blood in the mouth
   F
And when the gun powder's all rung 
out
     Dm
I'll bury it deep in the dirt
         Gm
Raise my glass to the ground
               Bb
To the lowly dirtbags

[Chorus]
     F
And I'm just stuck in this town I 
can't handle
Dm
Watching you light it up
       Gm
From a north end parking lot
      Bb
While I'm just setting off Roman 
candles

        F
'Cause I'm just stuck in this town I
 can't handle
Dm
Watching you light it up
       Gm
From a north end parking lot
      Bb
While I'm just setting off Roman 
candles

Gm Bb x2

 Dm                               
I'm just setting off Roman candles
Gm Bb

 F*
I'm just stuck in this town I can't 
handle
Dm*
Watching you light it up
      Gm*
And I know you're gonna light it up
     Bb*
While I'm just setting off Roman 
candles
