INTRO (2x): G  D  C  G  D  C
 
         D                             C
Well, my daddy didn’t pull out, but he never apologized 
G                    D                      C
Rock and roll means well, but it can’t help tellin’ young boys lies. 
  D                                        C
A baby on the way’s a good enough reason to get you out alive 
G                   D                 C
Get you out without having to swallow any pride. 
 
 
(2x): G  D  C  G  D  C
 
       D                              C
All my friends are restless, all they do is talk it down,
G                   D                     C
two or eight lanes, it don’t matter, it’s just another town.
        D                                        C
There’s a fool on every corner, on every street, in every one
    G                       D                             C
and I’d rather be your fool nowhere than go somewhere and be no one's 
 
 
CHORUS:
 
         Em        D               C
So marry me, sweet thing won’t you marry me 
     G             D                   C
Your Mama thinks I beat anything she’s ever seen 
G                D                         C
This old town’s alright with me, there’s nowhere I’d rather be. 
        G                D                 C
Long as they stay mad at one another, they can’t get mad at me 
 
 
(2x): G  D  C  G  D  C
 
      D                           C
Every time I leave here something bad happens to me
G                     D                C
Like a busted hand or finding some man laying where I sleep
          D                                      C
She don’t mean nothing to me, that’s just how it goes round here
     G               D                           C
It’s a cartoon town, I play my part, and I ain’t spoke her name in years 
 
 
CHORUS:
 
         Em        D               C
So marry me, sweet thing won’t you marry me 
     G             D                   C
Your Mama thinks I beat anything she’s ever seen 
G                D                         C
This old town’s alright with me, there’s nowhere I’d rather be. 
        G                D                 C
Long as they stay mad at one another, they can’t get mad at me 
 
 
BREAK: Am  Em  G  C  C/B
 
 
BRIDGE:
 
Am                              Em
I don’t want anything I done to be nobody’s fault 
G                               C                         C/B
Even if they got more money and mouth than they got balls. 
Am                                     Em
That’s just how it went down, right or wrong, it’s just that way. 
G                                     D
Just cause I don’t run my mouth don’t mean I got nothing to say

Your Mama thinks I beat anything she’s ever seen 
G                D                         C
This old town’s alright with me, there’s nowhere I’d rather be. 
        G                D                 C
Long as they stay mad at one another, they can’t get mad at me
 
 
      Em        D                C
Marry me, sweet thing, won't you marry me
      Em        D                C
Marry me, sweet thing, won't you marry me
