They Own This Town

Em     |C     |Em    |C   D   |


[Verse 1]

Em
  know it's been a hard day on the 
block
C
  Overtime and the bills don't stop
Em
 ‘Member what we said back in June
C                 D
 If we still here now then we gotta 
move

Em
  I don't know what you wanna do 
next
C
  Got your job but you got no checks
Em
  I'm not saying that I got a plan 
now
D
  I'm just saying that    hey


[Pre Chorus]

  Em
I know we got some problems, yea
  C
I know we got some hangups
        Em
I'm not tryin'a make excuses
         C                D
I'm just tryin'a put some meaning to
 the

Em
Struggles that we're currently
C
Going through with currency
Em
Going through with family
D
Finally like we're finally saying


[Chorus]
Em
  They own this town
C
  Maybe thats why we get no ground
Em
  We could go if we don't it's a 
pity
C                            D
‘cause I could tell you it'll change
 but it never does

Em
  They own this town
C
  Maybe thats why we get knocked 
down
Em
  We could leave in the morning and 
go all
D
night take a train to the coast get 
a new life


[Verse 2]

Continues after the ad
Em
  I've been looking at the photos 
too
C
  Three years and we got so cool
Em
  Too many ways we coulda' blown it
C                   D
  One minute and we coulda' thrown 
it all away

Em
  I don't know what I wanna do next
C
  Got a dream but I got no contacts
Em
  You're the reason that I got this 
far
D
  And I know we gotta work so hard I
