G I knew I'd see her around D I'd be at some party, she'd show up and I'd be walking out Em Or across some parking lot hiding behind her sister C I'd look up, she'd be at the red light beside me G In that white Maxima with the sticker on the back
D I'd act like I didn't see her Em We'd pay at the same pumps C Flip through the same stations G And slow down for the same curves D Run around with the same crowds Em We just needed some time C She could get on with her life and I'd get on with mine G Thought I would be fine, heh, but maybe not D I knew she'd find a way to get over me Em C But I'd never thought that... G ...she would get down with somebody I know D I guess that's just how it goes Em When you break up in a small town C I see our friends and they put on a show G D Like they don't want me to know Em C So they give me the go-around G But there's only so many streets, so many lights D I swear it's like I can't even leave my house Em I should've known all along
C You gotta move or move on When you break up in a small town G For a while I guess they were keeping it low-key D But now it's like these county lines closing in on me Em I see 'em everywhere together C And it's hitting a little too close to home G She's so far gone, she just didn't go far D She was over me before the grass grew back where she used to park her car Em She's leaving those same marks in someone else's yard C In someone else's arms right down the road And I never thought that... G ...she would get down with somebody I know D I guess that's just how it goes Em When you break up in a small town C I see our friends and they put on a show G D Like they don't want me to know Em C So they give me the go-around G But there's only so many streets, so many lights D I swear it's like I can't even leave my house Em I should've known all along C You gotta move or move on When you break up in a small town
G Your mailbox is seven minutes from mine D And I drive into town sometimes I see you sittin' there with him Em And I wanna jump out C I wanna fight G D I wanna say, "... that guy!" but I can't Em C It's my fault, I let her go I never thought that... G ...she would get down with somebody I know D I guess that's just how it goes Em When you break up in a small town C I see our friends and they put on a show G D Like they don't want me to know Em C So they give me the go-around G But there's only so many streets, so many lights D I swear it's like I can't even leave my house Em I should've known all along C You gotta move or move on When you break up in a small town
