Notes:
On the sections marked (No Guitar) you can also palm mute an Em chord.
 
Played on acoustic guitar I think it sounds best to hit each chord twice and then mute the strings until
the next chord change.
 
The Gsus2 > Gsus2/F# transition is a walk down on the low E string before hitting the Em.
 
 
[Verse 1]
(No Chords)
I knew I'd see her around
I'll be at some party and she'd show up and I'd be walking out
Or across some parking lot hiding behind her sister
I'd look up and she'd be at the red light beside me in that white Maxima with the sticker on the back
And I'd act like I didn't see her
We pay at the same pumps
Flip through the same stations
Slow down for the same curves
Run around the same crowds
We just needed some time
She could get on with her life and I'd get on with mine
Thought I would be fine
But maybe not
I knew she'd find a way to get over me but I never thought
 
[Chorus]
              Em                   Gsus2
She would get down with somebody I know
                           D                                 Gsus2  Gsus2/F#
I guess that's just how it goes when you break up in a small town
          Em                        Gsus2                           D                          Gsus2  Gsus2/F#
I see our friends and they put on a show like they don't want me to know so they give me the go-around
                 C                        Gsus2
But there's only so many streets, so many lights
                  D            Gsus2  Gsus2/F#
I swear it's like I can't even leave my house
Em                  Gsus2
Should've known all along
                       D
You gotta move or move on when you break up in a small town
 
[Verse 2]
(No Chords)
For a while I guess they were keeping it low-key
And now it's like these county lines are closing in on me
I see 'em everywhere together
And it's hitting a little too close to home
She's so far gone
And she didn't go far
She was over me before the grass grew back where she used to park her car
She's leaving those same marks in someone else's yard
Someone else's arms right down the road
And I never thought
 
[Chorus]
              Em                   Gsus2
She would get down with somebody I know
                           D                                 Gsus2  Gsus2/F#
I guess that's just how it goes when you break up in a small town
          Em                        Gsus2                           D                          Gsus2  Gsus2/F#
I see our friends and they put on a show like they don't want me to know so they give me the go-around
                 C                        Gsus2
But there's only so many streets, so many lights
                  D            Gsus2  Gsus2/F#
I swear it's like I can't even leave my house
Em                  Gsus2
Should've known all along
                       D
You gotta move or move on when you break up in a small town

[Verse 3]
              Em                   Gsus2
Your mailbox is 7 minutes from mine
                           D                                 Gsus2  Gsus2/F#
And I drive into town sometimes and I see her sitting there with him
              Em                   Gsus2
And I wanna jump out, I wanna fight
                           D    Gsus2  Gsus2/F#
And I wanna say f- that guy
              Em                    Gsus2
But I can't it's my fault, I let her go
                 D
I never thought
 
[Chorus]
                   Em                   Gsus2
That she would get down with somebody I know
                           D                                 Gsus2  Gsus2/F#
I guess that's just how it goes when you break up in a small town
          Em                        Gsus2                           D                          Gsus2  Gsus2/F#
I see our friends and they put on a show like they don't want me to know so they give me the go-around
                 C                        Gsus2
But there's only so many streets, so many lights
                  D            Gsus2  Gsus2/F#
I swear it's like I can't even leave my house
Em                  Gsus2
Should've known all along
                       D
You gotta move or move on when you break up in a small town
