Verse 1 
          Bm 
Hold your fire 
           D            E            Bm 
I'm coming out and I'll tell you the truth  
      D         E        Bm 
I was trying to raise my roof 
        A  
Did you see it 
       G      A  Bm 
That I needed to prove 
        D       E      Bm 
That my stinger always stays  
               D         E        Bm          
You said she's beautiful when she plays 
      D              E      A  
Did I hit you in the proper place  
A 
   Suddenly  

 
G          A                    F#m 
I, oh well I could live in this town 
     G  
Five cold years before I 
    A                    F#m  
Yes I could live in this town 
G                  
Before I head for home  


Bm D E (2x) 

Verse 2 
        Bm 
It's my turn  
         D         E         Bm  
With the spotlight burning a hole 
       D            E       Bm   
But my bird-heart's turning cold  
       A           G     A   Bm   
As the temperature rises all around 
       D          E       Bm 
To the sound of a ticking bomb 
              D        E           Bm 
And then it's not just showing off here 
         D       E               A  
You know there's something going on here  
      A 
Going on here  

Suddenly  


 
G          A                    F#m 
I, oh well I could live in this town 
     G  
Five cold years before I  
    A                    F#m 
Yes I could live in this town  
G 
Five cold years 
    A                    F#m  
Yes I could live in this town 
      G 
Five cold years before I 
     A                    F#m  
Well I could live in this town 
G  
Before I head for home  


Bridge

And considered it odd  
            Bm        
That I ever stayed  
     A  
ever stayed 
            Bm 
That I ever stayed  
     A 
ever stayed 
            Bm        
That I ever stayed  
     A  
ever stayed 
            Bm 
That I ever stayed  
     A 
ever stayed 
              Bm 
You know that feeling you get  
         E             D    
when you don't want to leave  
     Bm 
That feeling you get  
         E             D    
when you don't want to leave  
     Bm 
That feeling when you don't want to leave
