[Verse 1]

C
We played cops and robbers in the streets around our house
Am
It was fun and games back then but it ain't funny now
F
Here in our town


[Verse 2]

C
Just a bunch of kids skipping church and acting so cool
Am
But now we're lighting candles on a Friday afternoon
F
Here in our town



[Chorus]
C
We were raised in the shadows of crosses and flags
Am
When we pledge allegiance we take off our hats
F
Here in our town
C
We say yes ma'am and no ma'am

We love we don't hate
Am
That world that's gone crazy it don't have a place
F
Here in our town
C                G
Here in our town


[Verse 3]

C
The only color we care about is that football jersey blue
Am
So I don't know who the hell that is up there on the news
F
That ain't our town


[Chorus]

C
We were raised in the shadows of crosses and flags
Am
When we pledge allegiance we take off our hats
F
Here in our town
C
We say yes ma'am and no ma'am

We love we don't hate
Am
That world that's gone crazy it don't have a place
F
Here in our town
C                G
Here in our town


[Bridge]

Am
We're better than this
G
Tougher than tough
F
We might get knocked down
Dm               G
But we get back up
   Am F
Yeah


[Chorus]

C
We were raised in the shadows of crosses and flags
Am
When we pledge allegiance we take off our hats
F
Here in our town
C
We say yes ma'am and no ma'am

We love we don't hate
Am
That world that's gone crazy it don't have a place
F
Here in our town
C                G
Here in our town, yeah
