Intro: Em
G
I knew I'd see her around
Em
I'd be at some party, she'd show up and I'd be walking out
D
Across some parking lot, hiding behind her sister
G
I'd look up, she'd be at the red light beside me
In that white max with the sticker on the back
Em
I'd act like I didn't see her
And we'd pay at the same pumps
Flip through the same stations
And slow down for the same curves
C
Run around with the same crowds
We just needed some time
She could get on with her life and I'd get on with mine
D
Thought I would be fine, but maybe not
I knew she'd find a way to get over me
But I'd never thought that
Em C
She would get down with somebody I know
D
I guess that's just how it goes
G
When you break up in a small town
D Em C
I see our friends and they put on a show
D
Like they don't want me to know
G D
So they give me the go-around
C G
But there's only so many streets and so many lights
D G D Em
I swear it's like I can't even leave my house
C
I should have known all along
D
You gotta move and move on
When you break up in a small town
G
For a while I guess they were keeping it low-key
Em
And now it's like these county lines closing in on me
I see em everywhere together
And it's getting a little too close to home
C
She's so far gone, but she didn't go far
She was over me before the grass grew back where she used to park her car
D
She's leaving those same marks in someone else's yard
In someone else's arms right down the road
And I never thought
Em C
She would get down with somebody I know
D
I guess that's just how it goes
G
When you break up in a small town
D Em C
I see our friends and they put on a show
D
Like they don't want me to know

So they give me the go-around

Em
Her mailbox is seven minutes from mine
C D G
And I drive in the town sometimes and I see her there sittin there with him

I want to jump out I want to fight I want to say .... that guy
