This Used To Be My Town

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


N.C. Fmaj7                                C
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
    F                               Em
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


N.C. Fmaj7                                 C
I'm  flying through the clouds as white as snow
    Fmaj7                        C
I'm looking at the people down below
    F                                   Em
The whole world holds its breath for me
                   Am       F
The priest evokes eternity
                                  Csus4   G
And everywhere the rain is pouring down
     F             C
This used to be my town
     F             C
This used to be my town
