Intro: | Bm  | D  | G    D  | A    G  |

Verse 1:
 Bm
County line, I'm countin' down
 D
Mailboxes until my house
                  G                 D
This place had a heartbeat in it's day
                 A                                  G
Vail bought the mountains, and nothing was the same
          Bm
Yes, the boys are drunk, the sun is high
       D
Their license plates "Live Free or Die"
                    G                       D
But it just ain't that simple, it never was
                  A                                     G
We'll drink 'til New Year's, then they'll leave me to clean up

Chorus:
         D    Gb            Bm
One day, I'm gonna cut it clear
                  G
Ride like Paul Revere
                            A
And, when they ask me who I am
                G               D
I'll say, "I'm not from around here"

Verse 2:
      Bm
I'll leave before the road crew's out
              D
Before those joggers looking way too proud
                      G
And I'll turn up the music
             D
And I'll forget
         A                                G
Until it ends, that I'm not ready to let go yet

Chorus:
         D    Gb            Bm
One day, I'm gonna cut it clear
                  G
Ride like Paul Revere
                            A
And, when they ask me who I am
            G               D
I'll just pretend I didn't hear
      Gb         Bm
It's typical, I fear
                 G
Folks just disappear
                            A
And, when they ask me who I am
                G               D      Gb    Bm    G
I'll say, "I'm not from around here"

Post-chorus:
A                  G             Bm
 I'll say, "I'm not from around here"

Outro:
            A
But I'm in my car
            E  
And I see the yard
               G             Gb            Bm
The patch of grass where we buried the dog
               A
And the world makes sense
           E  
Behind a chain-link fence
            G                Gb            Bm
If I could leave, I would've already left
            A
But I'm in my car
            E  
And I see the yard
               G             Gb            Bm
The patch of grass where we buried the dog
               A
And the world makes sense
           E  
Behind a chain-link fence
            G                Gb            G
If I could leave, I would've already left
A                    Bm
 I would've already left
