Famous In a Small Town

G


[Verse]

G                        C
They say life is so much sweeter
G                             D
through the telephoto lens of fame
G                                
around here you get just as much 
C
attention
G               D                
cheerin' at the high school 
    G
football game

G                     C
I dreamed of going to Nashville
G                               D
Put my money down and placed my bet
G                                 
But I just got the first buck of 
   C
the season
G                          
I made the front page of the 
  D          G
Turnertown Gazette


[Chorus]

      C                         
Every last one, route one, rural 
              Em           G
hearts got a story to tell
         C
Every grandma, in law, ex girlfriend
          G                     
Maybe knows us just a little too 
 A
well
               C
Whether you're late for church or 
you're stuck in jail
Continues after the ad
    G               C
Hey words gonna get around
G              D           G
Everybody dies famous in a small 
town


[Verse]

G                  C
Tyler and Casey broke up
G                    D
It ended pretty quietly
G                                 
We heard he was caught red-handed 
          C
with her mama
G                            D   
That's just what they let us all 
      G
believe


[Chorus]

      C                         
Every last one, route one, rural 
              Em           G
hearts got a story to tell
         C
Every grandma, in law, ex girlfriend
          G                     
Maybe knows us just a little too 
 A
well
               C
Whether you're late for church or 
you're stuck in jail
    G               C
Hey words gonna get around
G              D           G
Everybody dies famous in a small 
town


[Bridge]

     C               G
Baby who needs their faces in a 
magazine
       C              D
Me and you we've been stars of the 
town since we were 17
G                         C
Let's go on down to the quick stop
G
Wear your yellow shades
                          D
And I'll put on my tight jeans
G                              
And we'll just spend the weekend 
           C
burnin' rubber
G                             D  
And we'll let em point and stare 
         G
in disbelief


[Chorus]

      C                         
Every last one, route one, rural 
              Em           G
hearts got a story to tell
         C
Every grandma, in law, ex girlfriend
          G                     
Maybe knows us just a little too 
 A
well
               C
Whether you're late for church or 
you're stuck in jail
    G               C
Hey words gonna get around
G              D           G
