Intro (x2): E  B A

Verse:
E
I swear I don't know how I trusted
A
a Montero with the AC busted
   E                            B
a couple bad demos on a burned CD
       A
Would take me all the way to Tennessee

E
I showed up to the new apartment
 A
First month's, last month's, two deposits
 E                                     B
Hadn't heard the sound of a door slam yet
       A
Thank God I was an optimist

Chorus:
         E
I drove circles around this town
            A
Tryna ride circles around this town
 B
Tryna say something with meanin'
                 A
Somethin' worth singin' about

           E
I've been kind and I've been ruthless
         A
Yeah, I got here but the truth is
 B
Thought when I'd hit it, it'd all look different
    A
But I still got the pedal down

         E                          A
Drivin' circles around this tow-ow-own

Verse:
E                              B
So many times I thought about leaving
 A
Got my ass kicked tryin' to compete with
 E
Everybody else is ones that got away
        A
Hung around long enough to catch a break

 E
Couple hundred songs and the ones that finally worked
         A
Was the one about a car and the one about a church
(nc)
That I wrote

Chorus:
         E
Drivin' circles around this town
            A
Tryna ride circles around this town
 B
Tryna say something with meanin'
                 A
Somethin' worth singin' about

           E
I've been kind and I've been ruthless
         A
Yeah, I got here but the truth is
 B
Thought when I'd hit it, it'd all look different
    A
But I still got the pedal down

         E                          A
Drivin' circles around this tow-ow-own
         B                          A
Drivin' circles around this tow-ow-own

Hey !

Instrumental: E  A  B  A

Chorus:
         E
I drove circles around this town
            A
Tryna ride circles around this town
 B
Tryna say something with meanin'
                 A
Somethin' worth singin' about

           E
I've been kind and I've been ruthless
         A
Yeah, I got here but the truth is
 B
Thought when I'd hit it, it'd all look different
    A
But I still got the pedal down

            (nc)
I still get lost, I still get found
         E                   E  B   A
Drivin' circles around this tow-ow-own
E        B A  E
Ah, yeah
