Intro: A

Verse 1:
A                    E
I'd never live in a small town
Gbm                   D
I've made too many mistakes
          E                         A
For where you gotta write your book early
      Bm                       Db7
Or it gets written up in your place
          A                        E
Where you never get away from your first love
          Gbm                         D
It's like one brand of soap's sold in town
       E                   A
'Cause anyone you can get close to
   D             E           A
Smells like your first time around

Chorus:
A                                     D
 But in a lake, you can backstroke forever
     E     A             Gbm         E
The sky before you, the dark right behind
A                                 D   E A E A
 And in a big city, you can start over

Verse 2:
    A                            E
And everywhere you go makes your heart ache
       Gbm                       D
When you've done enough walks of shame
E                          A
Some days, you just go the long way
     Bm                Db7
To stay off of memory lane
   A                    E
So I'd never live in a small town
   Gbm                     D
I'm slow to learn all the rules
       E                   A
I've tried very hard to be good
              D                 E         A
But when they think you're bad, people act worse

Chorus:
A                           D
 But in a lake, you can backstroke forever
      G                     D
The sky before you and the dark behind you
   A     E          Gbm          D
And in a big city, you can start over
    E           A              Gbm         E
The lights all around you, the dark safe inside
A                             D    E A E A
 In a big city, you can start over
