Am              F
I got out and stayed away
           C
And I just visit family and friends
       Am                      F
I tell stories to keep em entertained
                 C
And they believe every word I say
          Am                 F
And there ain't much to this town I guess
         C
But I'll probably come back to die
         Am                    F
Ain't it funny how some things never change
              C
And how hard it is to cover up lies


[Chorus]
       Am                   F
'Cause Ferndale Creek still runs the same
      C
As it did five years ago
        Am                        F
And the high school still does an awful job
            C
Of teaching kids what they need to know
       Am                  F
And my ex-girlfriend's got two boyfriends
           C
And that's funny as hell to me
               Am
I guess that's how it goes
         F                  C
When you stay back home and never leave

Am F C
Am F C


[Verse]
Am
You talk trash
       F
You're cussin up and down
              C
That you were here to make the first move
Am                  F
Pretty soon they'll make you the mayor
      C
Or at least you hope they do
      Am
And I may be wrong
        F
Hell it might be heaven
    C
But every time I pass that sign
         Am
It's the same old stuff
        F
Ain't a damn thing changed
      C
Cause everybody's high


[Chorus]
       Am                   F
'Cause Ferndale Creek still runs the same
      C
As it did five years ago
        Am                        F
And the high school still does an awful job
            C
Of teaching kids what they need to know
       Am                  F
And my ex-girlfriend's got two boyfriends
           C
And that's funny as hell to me
               Am
I guess that's how it goes
         F                  C
When you stay back home and never leave


[Solo]
Am F C (x4)


[Chorus]
       Am                   F
'Cause Ferndale Creek still runs the same

        Am                        F
And the high school still does an awful job

When you stay back home and never leave

               Am
I guess that's how it goes
         F                  C
When you stay back home and never leave

Ahhh yeah

Am F C (x2)


[Outro]
          Am                 F
And there ain't much to this town I guess
         C
But I'll probably come back to die
                       Am
I guess we'll see just how that goes
       F                  C
When I move back home and never leave
