Famous In a Small Town

G


[Verse]

G                        C
They say life is so much sweeter
G                             D
through the telephoto lens of fame
G                                C
around here you get just as much attention
G               D                    G
cheerin' at the high school football game

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


[Chorus]

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


[Verse]

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


[Chorus]

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


[Bridge]

     C               G
Baby who needs their faces in a magazine
       C              D
Me and you we've been stars of the town since we were 17
G                         C
Let's go on down to the quick stop
G
Wear your yellow shades
                          D
And I'll put on my tight jeans
G                                         C
And we'll just spend the weekend burnin' rubber
G                             D           G
And we'll let em point and stare in disbelief


[Chorus]

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