[Verse 1]
GThe golden groves are lined with Cadd9affluence and roses,
But the bagGheads down by Central Station are cCadd9loser to where home is.Cadd9  G  
It can be grim and send you Cadd9West from time to time,
Yeah, this plGace is such a shipwreck,
But this shiEm7pwreck, it is mAsusine.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
EmDay by Asusday we grew to Cadd9love this plGace,
And where I mEm7ake my grAsusave, my anchor lCadd9ays.
[Chorus]
GI've been wasting Cadd9away,
But in a tGown with no way out, there's not much Cadd9else to do anyway,
If you're looGking for a place to Cadd9decay,
Then there will alGways be a place in my town called rCadd9evelry.
[Verse 2]
GI've seen a punch or two,
Cadd9Narrowly escaped a few,
And if Em7you can get the dAsusay off, I could show Cadd9you a view.Cadd9  G  
I remember the football games,
Cadd9The first time that I got laid,
And the tEm7ime J broke his fiAsusnger drinking Cadd9by the lake.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em7Day by dAsusay we grew to lCadd9ove this plaGce,
And where I mEm7ake my grAsusave is where my aCadd9nchor laGys.
The sEm7ound of my yAsusouth echoes Cadd9out through these emGpty streets,
Em7I guess I can't kick Asusup the roots;
It's Cadd9home, and that's the trGuth.
[Chorus]
GI've been wasting Cadd9away,
But in a tGown with no way out, there's not much Cadd9else to do anyway,
If you're looGking for a place to Cadd9decay,
Then there will alGways be a place in my town called rCadd9evelry.

Em7We know what it's lAsusike to be put dCadd9own 
So fuck you to the woGrld, and stand your ground.
Em7We know how to Asusturn it inside Cadd9out and get a little bit roGwdy.
Em7We know what it's lAsusike to be put dCadd9own 
So fuck you to the woGrld, and stand your ground.
Em7We know how to tAsusurn it inside oCadd9ut and get a little bit...

GI'm not stuck I'm stayCadd9ing,
Yeah I said, GI'm not stuck I'm stayCadd9ing.
And if you've Em7got sorrows to drAsusown and the bCadd9ottom's where you're bouGnd,
You will alEm7ways have a plAsusace in my tCadd9own called revelry. G

[Intro]

G Asus Cadd9 Asus G Asus Em7 Cadd9

[Verse 1]

G Cadd9

The golden groves are lined with affluence and roses,

G Cadd9 Cadd9 G

But the bagheads down by Central Station are closer to where home is.

Cadd9

It can be grim and send you West from time to time,

Yeah, this place is such a shipwreck,

Em7 Asus

But this shipwreck, it is mine.

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Em Asus Cadd9 G

Day by day we grew to love this place,

Em7 Asus Cadd9

And where I make my grave, my anchor lays.

[Chorus]

G Cadd9

I've been wasting away,

G Cadd9

But in a town with no way out, there's not much else to do anyway,

G Cadd9

If you're looking for a place to decay,

G Cadd9

Then there will always be a place in my town called revelry.

[Verse 2]

I've seen a punch or two,

Cadd9

Narrowly escaped a few,

Em7 Asus Cadd9 Cadd9 G

And if you can get the day off, I could show you a view.

I remember the football games,

Cadd9

The first time that I got laid,

Em7 Asus Cadd9

And the time J broke his finger drinking by the lake.

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Em7 Asus Cadd9 G

Day by day we grew to love this place,

Em7 Asus Cadd9 G

And where I make my grave is where my anchor lays.

Em7 Asus Cadd9 G

The sound of my youth echoes out through these empty streets,

Em7 Asus

I guess I can't kick up the roots;

Cadd9 G

It's home, and that's the truth.

[Chorus]

G Cadd9

I've been wasting away,

G Cadd9

But in a town with no way out, there's not much else to do anyway,

G Cadd9

If you're looking for a place to decay,

Then there will always be a place in my town called revelry.

Em7 Asus Cadd9

We know what it's like to be put down

So fuck you to the world, and stand your ground.

Em7 Asus Cadd9 G

We know how to turn it inside out and get a little bit rowdy.

Em7 Asus Cadd9

We know what it's like to be put down

So fuck you to the world, and stand your ground.

Em7 Asus Cadd9

We know how to turn it inside out and get a little bit...

[Chorus]

G Cadd9

I've been wasting away,

G Cadd9

But in a town with no way out, there's not much else to do anyway,

G Cadd9

If you're looking for a place to decay,

G Cadd9

Then there will always be a place in my town called revelry.

[Outro]

G Cadd9

I'm not stuck I'm staying,

G Cadd9

Yeah I said, I'm not stuck I'm staying.

Em7 Asus Cadd9 G

And if you've got sorrows to drown and the bottom's where you're bound,
