Verse:
GThat's the red brick house where I grew up
Cadd9That's the football field that made me tough
GThe grocery store down on 4th
DThat would sell us beer for just a little more
GDown a sandstone road there's an old rope swing
Cadd9And a little lake where my buddies and me
GUsed to drive around and talk about
DGrowin' up and just hangin' out
Cadd9To look at me you'd Dnever guess
GThat I hate this town
DI hate everyting in it
Cadd9I swear I'm gettin out
DCan't take another minute
GIt keeps bringin' Dme down
GIts where I grew up
DFigured I'd grow old
GBut then you left
DHow was I to know
GWithout you arDound
(Pause)    G  
I'd hate this town
Verse:
We may have been young
But we had dreams
I built you a house
I bought you a ring
I hit my knees
Baby, please, I need you
Won't you marry me
Everybody we knew was there
The aisles were filled with folding chairs
The preacher prayed, the organ played
Your mama cried as we drove away
I bet none of them would believe
Chorus:
That I hate this town
I hate everyting in it
I swear I'm gettin out
Can't take another minute
It keeps bringin' me down
Its where I grew up
Figured I'd grow old
But then you left
How was I to know 
Without you around
I'd hate this town
Bridge:
EmI'd pack my bags about every night
CDrive out past the city limit sign
GSo no one would hear Dme say
Chorus:
That I hate this town
I hate everyting in it
I swear I'm gettin out
Can't take another minute
It keeps bringin' me down
Its where I grew up
Figured I'd grow old
But then you left
How was I to know
Without you around
Without you around
I'd hate this town
I hate this town

Intro:

G D Cadd9 G G D G

Verse:

That's the red brick house where I grew up

Cadd9

That's the football field that made me tough

The grocery store down on 4th

That would sell us beer for just a little more

Down a sandstone road there's an old rope swing

Cadd9

And a little lake where my buddies and me

Used to drive around and talk about

Growin' up and just hangin' out

Cadd9 D

To look at me you'd never guess

That I hate this town

I hate everyting in it

Cadd9

I swear I'm gettin out

Can't take another minute

G D

It keeps bringin' me down

Its where I grew up

Figured I'd grow old

But then you left

How was I to know

G D

Without you around

(Pause)

I'd hate this town

Verse:

We may have been young

But we had dreams

I built you a house

I bought you a ring

I hit my knees

Baby, please, I need you

Won't you marry me

Everybody we knew was there

The aisles were filled with folding chairs

The preacher prayed, the organ played

Your mama cried as we drove away

I bet none of them would believe

Chorus:

That I hate this town

I hate everyting in it

I swear I'm gettin out

Can't take another minute

It keeps bringin' me down

Its where I grew up

Figured I'd grow old

But then you left

How was I to know

Without you around

I'd hate this town

Bridge:

I'd pack my bags about every night

Drive out past the city limit sign

G D

So no one would hear me say

Chorus:

That I hate this town

I hate everyting in it

I swear I'm gettin out

Can't take another minute

It keeps bringin' me down

Its where I grew up

Figured I'd grow old

But then you left

How was I to know

Without you around

I'd hate this town

I hate this town
