[Verse 1]
C                                         Fmaj7
Richie and Austen are often along for the ride
     Dm7                                            Fmaj7   
They don't say a lot, but they know every inch of this drive
         C                                               Fmaj7 
If these trees started talkin', I bet you they'd only talk shit
          Dm7                                       Fmaj7
'Cause we never do anythin' real, we just talk about it
C                                         Fmaj7    
Endin' of August, the bugs are just startin' to die
        Dm7                                  Fmaj7          
All the neighbors are votin' for someone who wins every time
      C                                               Fmaj7   
And I thought gettin' older meant knowin' it's too late to try
      Dm7                                          Fmaj7 
And I tried gettin' sober, I swear I did bettеr this time

[Pre-Chorus]
C    Fmaj7
Ooh, hm
Dm7  Fmaj7
Ooh, hm
C    Fmaj7
Ooh, hm
Dm7  Fmaj7
Ooh, hm

[Chorus]
    C                                   
Oh, everythin' you see out hеre will die
Fmaj7                    
Oh, it's a matter of time
          Dm7                               
'Til it's fields of ice and reflector lights
          Fmaj7       
'Til it's our town, mm

[Verse 2]
C                              Fmaj7 
And anythin' you need, I will provide
A ride home or an alibi
          Dm7                                  
I know the traffic light you can speed right by
           Fmaj7        
'Cause the camera's down
      Am7                                      
And I follow New York plates to the county line
  G                              
I ignore 'em when they wave on 89
    Fmaj7                     
The minute that September hits
    Dm7                      
I'm goin' off my medicine, oh
C                                      
Late August angst and a pointless night
Fmaj7                         Dm7 
Oh, and the feelin' of bein' alive
                        Fmaj7    
For the first time in a long time

[Instrumental Break]
Cmaj7   Fmaj7   Dm7

[Bridge]
            C                                              
Oh, we're a drawin' of a place, we're a photo on the fridge
           Fmaj7                                              
They mined copper for years, oh, there was nothin' left to dig
       Dm7                                              
It's a place where most kids, just grow up and have kids
         Fmaj7                                             
Who grow up and have kids, who build homes for the rich, oh

[Chorus]
    C                                   
Oh, everythin' you see out hеre will die
Fmaj7                    
Oh, it's a matter of time
          Dm7                               
'Til it's fields of ice and reflector lights
          Fmaj7   
'Til it's our town

[Post-Chorus]
          C       
'Til it's our town
          Fmaj7   
'Til it's our town
         Dm7     
And it's our town
            Fmaj7   
'Cause it's ours now
