Intro: A down strokes 

A                            D 
They say life is so much sweeter 
A                              E 
Through the telephoto lens of fame 
A                                   D 
Around here you get just as much attention 
A               E                  A 
Cheerin' at the high school football game 


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


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

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

Chorus 

Bridge 
      D 
Baby, who 
             A  
Needs their faces in a magazine 
       D 
Me and you 
           E 
We've been stars of the town since we were 17 


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


Chorus
