Break Up In A Small Town

	  		  
  

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

    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

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

        Em  
 Her mailbox is seven minutes from mine
