Intro: Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
N.C. Fmaj7 C
The altar boys are sneaking cigarettes
Fmaj7 C
The friends and neighbours offering their regrets
Fmaj7 Em Am
The station wagons in the pouring rain
Fmaj7 G
And all that water going down the drain

A white lace dress for when I turn thirteen
Fmaj7 C
And a bright red stain that wouldn't quite come clean
F Em
Walking by the football field
Am
Trying out my sex appeal
F Csus4 G
While all around the leaves are turning brown
F C F C
This used to be my town
N.C. Fmaj7 C
He waited by the swing-set in the park
Fmaj7 C
He tore at my new raincoat in the dark

And all that I could think about was
Am F
Getting through and getting out
Csus4 G
And how the night could fall without a sound
F C F C F C F C
This used to be my town

I'm flying through the clouds as white as snow

I'm looking at the people down below

The whole world holds its breath for me

The priest evokes eternity
Csus4 G
And everywhere the rain is pouring down
F C
This used to be my town

This used to be my town
