[Intro]
Em
[Verse]
  GI knew I'd see her around
I'd be at some party, she'd show up and I'd be wEmalking out
Across some parking lot, hDiding behind her sister
I'd look up, she'd be at the Gred light beside me
In that white maxima with the sticker on the back
I'd act like I didn't see heEmr
And we'd pay at the same pumps
Flip through the same stations
And slow down for the same curves
Run around with the saCme crowds
We just needed some time
She could get on with her life and I'd get on with mine
Thought I would be fiDne, but maybe not
I knew she'd find a way to get over me
But I'd never thought that
[Chorus]
She would get dEmown with somebody I kCnow
I guess that's just how it goDes
When you break up in a smGall town
I sDee our fEmriends and they put on a shCow
Like they don't want me to kDnow
So they give me the gGo-arouDnd
But there's only Cso many streets and so maGny lights
I swear it's like DI can't even Gleave Dmy hEmouse
I should have known all alCong
You gotta move and move Don
When you break up in a small town
[Verse]
 GFor a while I guess they were keeping it low-key
And now it's like these county lines closing in on Emme
I see em everywhere together
And it's getting a little too close to home
She's sCo far gone, but 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 sDame marks in someone else's yard
In someone else's arms right down the road
And I never thought
[Chorus]
She would get Emdown with somebody I kCnow
I guess that's just how it goDes
When you break up in a smGall town
I sDee our fEmriends and they put on a shCow
Like they don't want me to kDnow
So they give me the gGo-arouDnd
But there's only Cso many streets and so maGny lights
I swear it's like I Dcan't even lGeave Dmy hoEmuse
I should have known all alCong
You gotta move and move Don
When you break up in a small town
[Solo]

Her maiEmlbox is seven minutes from mine

But I can't cause it's my fDault and I let her go
I Gnever thougDht
[Chorus]

[Intro]

[Verse]

I knew I'd see her around

I'd be at some party, she'd show up and I'd be walking out

Across some parking lot, hiding behind her sister

I'd look up, she'd be at the red light beside me

In that white maxima with the sticker on the back

I'd act like I didn't see her

And we'd pay at the same pumps

Flip through the same stations

And slow down for the same curves

Run around with 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'd never thought that

[Chorus]

Em C

She would get down with somebody I know

I guess that's just how it goes

When you break up in a small town

D Em C

I see our friends and they put on a show

Like they don't want me to know

G D

So they give me the go-around

C G

But there's only so many streets and so many lights

D G D Em

I swear it's like I can't even leave my house

I should have known all along

You gotta move and move on

When you break up in a small town

[Verse]

For a while I guess they were keeping it low-key

And now it's like these county lines closing in on me

I see em everywhere together

And it's getting a little too close to home

She's so far gone, but 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

In someone else's arms right down the road

And I never thought

[Chorus]

Em C

She would get down with somebody I know

I guess that's just how it goes

When you break up in a small town

D Em C

I see our friends and they put on a show

Like they don't want me to know

G D

So they give me the go-around

C G

But there's only so many streets and so many lights

D G D Em

I swear it's like I can't even leave my house

I should have known all along

You gotta move and move on

When you break up in a small town

[Verse]

Her mailbox is seven minutes from mine

C D G

And I drive in the town sometimes and I see her there sittin there with him

D Em C

I want to jump out I want to fight I want to say .... that guy

But I can't cause it's my fault and I let her go

G D

I never thought

[Chorus]

Em C

She would get down with somebody I know

I guess that's just how it goes

When you break up in a small town

D Em C

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 G

But there's only so many streets and so many lights

D G D Em

I swear it's like I can't even leave my house

I should have known all along

You gotta move and move on

When you break up in a small town
