Verse 1:
A                               D
They say life is so much sweeter
A                                 E
Through the telephoto end of fame
A                              
Around here you get just as much 
           D
attention
A                  E             
Cheering at the high school 
     A
football game


Verse 2:
A                         D
I dreamed of going to Nashville
A                                  E
Put my money down and placed my bet
A                                 
But I just got the first buck of 
      D
the season
A                          
I made the front page of the 
  E            A
Turnertown Gazette


Chorus:
      D

hearts got a story to tell
      D
Every grandma, in-law, ex-girlfriend

A                        D
Tyler and Casey broke up
A                       E
It ended pretty quietly
A                                 
We heard he was caught red-handed 
          D
with her mama
   A                     E        
So that's just what they let us

Needs their faces in a magazine?

A                                 D
Let's go on down to the quick stop
          A                        
Wear your yellow shades and I'll 
                E
put on my tight jeans
    A                           
And we'll just spend the weekend 
            D
burning rubber
          A                        
And we'll let them point and stare 
        E
in disbelief
