E A Am A
Verse 1:
E A C#m A
For about four years I've hated this town
E A Am A
Yeah, so much I just wanna get out
E A C#m A
Since graduation was long ago
E A B
Please somebody get me out of this hole
E A C#m A
Cause I don't want to get stuck in here
E A F#m B
When I am thirty-four just talkin' 'bout high school years
E A C#m A
No I don't wanna be there, and feel so stuck right here
E A F#m B
Back and forth, side to side, oh my dear
Pre-Chorus
C#m A
My foot to the floor I will drive to the place
C#m A
Where I can kick it with friends through the night
C#m A
A place we'll talk about now and the past what the future holds
B
Hanging out with not much to do
B N.C.
Just aimless with each other - is what we do
E A
Cause this ain't where it's at
C#m A
I know my friends will second that
E A F#m B
And I gotta admit sometimes it's pretty sad
E A
But it's like we're our own brat pack
C#m A
We're always kickin' back
E A
nobody can take that
F#m N.C. B N.C.
And that is that it's like its all we have
E A C#m A E A F#m B
Whoa! Whoa! Yeah, oh
Verse 2:
E A
Come on say 'Oh! Oh! Get on the floor!
C#m A
Dance 'till you got no more!'
E A
I know it's there somewhere
F#m B
Don't worry I'll be there
E A
to rock the party all night
C#m A
To rock it 'til there's light
E A
our fists in the air
F#m B
Fightin' the good fight
Pre-Chorus
C#m A C#m A
Cause' we were singing along to Peter Gabriel's 'Sledgehammer' song
C#m A
You know it's clear that tonight we belong in this place
B
So I step back to reflect in this town I hate
B N.C.
And at least just for a second I think I might stay
E A
This ain't where it's at
C#m A
My friends will second that
E A F#m B
And I gotta admit sometimes it's pretty sad
E A
But it's like we're our own brat pack
C#m A
We're always kickin' back
E A
nobody can take that
F#m B
And that is that
Bridge:
F#m C#m B
So I'll run away to the hopes that I have
F#m C#m B
But still I fall asleep in the arms of my past
F#m C#m B
And when I wake so helpless and thinking of that
F#m C#m B
I just lay back down
C#m B C#m A
Again, everyday
Bridge:
C#m B E
So maybe later today I'll know
A C#m
What I will do with my life as I know it
B A
Maybe for now I'll drive back to that place where I belong
B N.C.
And hope to God it hasn't changed
E A
This ain't where it's at
C#m A
My friends will second that
E A F#m B
And I gotta admit sometimes it's pretty sad
E A
But it's like we're our own brat pack
C#m A
We're always kickin' back
E A F#m B
Nobody can take that no no no
E A
This ain't where it's at
C#m A
My friends will second that
E A F#m B
And I gotta admit sometimes it's pretty sad
E A
But it's like we're our own brat pack
C#m A
We're always kickin' back
E A
Nobody can take that
F#m B E
That is that it's like its all we have
