Our Town chords by Marshall Crenshaw

Intro: A E (x2)

  A
   I hear something in the sounds that surround me
 Bm       E
   That only seems to remind me,
    Bm        E    D9      A        E
   That I'm lost and longing for a different place and time
  A
   I want to be walking down the avenue,
 Bm         E
   Tall buildings staring down on me and you
 Bm      E     D9      A         D9
   But all I have is pictures running through my mind

   E    Bm
   Sunlight dying
   D          A     D9
   People rushing madly all around
   E    Bm
   Sirens crying
   D             E    E9/D   C#m7
   Gotta grab the next thing back to our town,
 E9/D      E      E9/D     C#m7 E9/D
   Before the whole thing crumbles to the ground

A E

  A
   Do you remember the promise I gave you,
 Bm       E
   The one I swore I would hold to?
  Bm
   Well you're there,
     E    D9     A        E
   I'm here, and everything I said was wrong
  A
   So we're not out with the crowd nights,
  Bm      E
   Not walking under the bright lights
  Bm      E   D9      A        D9
   All I can do is dream about it, all night long

   E    Bm
   Sunlight dying
   D          A     D9
   People rushing madly all around
   E    Bm
   Sirens crying
   D             E    E9/D  C#m7
   Gotta grab the next thing back to our town,
 E9/D      E      E9/D     C#m7 E9/D
   Before the whole thing crumbles to the ground

  E     E9/D     C#m7   E9/D     E
   It's the place where we keep our hopes and dreams,
     E9/D     C#m7   E9/D    E
   The place where I lost my heart it seems
        E9/D     C#m7    E9/D
   All people looking for danger and romance
  E     E9/D      C#m7      E9/D
   Drop by there while you still have the chance,
       E      E9/D    C#m7 E9/D
   'cause it's all gonna tumble down.
       E    E9/D     C#m7 E9/D   A   E
   It's gonna shake apart, and crumble to the ground

  A
   Do you remember the promise I gave you,
  Bm      E
   The one I swore I would hold to?
  Bm
   Well you're there,
     E    D9     A        E
   I'm here, and everything I said was wrong
  A
   So we're not out with the crowd nights,
  Bm      E
   Not walking under the bright lights
  Bm      E   D9      A        D9

E    Bm
   Sunlight dying
