[Verse]
As I lCook back at the mess you lDeft inside my head
I rBmealize what a nervous wreck I aCctually am
CI swore I woDuldn't die a tCradesman
Like eDvery other pCrick in thDe town that we grew uCp in
Who you'll prDobably end Cup with
[Chorus]
EmI don't think about you aDnymore
Cause memories of yCou are like a tEmreadmill,
I keep rDunning, but I'm not getting anywhereC  
  DI'm not getting anywhereBm  C  
[Verse]
CIf I'm not over this then wDhy do I still roam
For a bBmetter place to grow? not a Cbackyard or my home.
CJust grant me siDlence from your Cside of the county line
I think you owe me tDhat
For kicking me when I was dCown
[Verse]
EmI don't think about you aDnymore
Cause memories of Cyou are like a Emtreadmill,
I'm not gDetting anywhere
[Outro]
CNow that we both understand, Emstay on your sDide of the fence
C(stay on your own side)
Em(stay on your oDwn side)
CSay what you will, but I neEmver asked Danything of you
C(just like you wanted to)
Em(just like you wDanted to)
end and hold C for last lyrics

[Verse]

C D

As I look back at the mess you left inside my head

Bm C

I realize what a nervous wreck I actually am

C D C

I swore I wouldn't die a tradesman

D C D C

Like every other prick in the town that we grew up in

D C

Who you'll probably end up with

[Chorus]

Em D

I don't think about you anymore

C Em

Cause memories of you are like a treadmill,

D C

I keep running, but I'm not getting anywhere

D Bm C

I'm not getting anywhere

[Verse]

C D

If I'm not over this then why do I still roam

Bm C

For a better place to grow? not a backyard or my home.

C D C

Just grant me silence from your side of the county line

I think you owe me that

For kicking me when I was down

[Verse]

Em D

I don't think about you anymore

C Em

Cause memories of you are like a treadmill,

I'm not getting anywhere

[Outro]

C Em D

Now that we both understand, stay on your side of the fence

(stay on your own side)

Em D

(stay on your own side)

C Em D

Say what you will, but I never asked anything of you

(just like you wanted to)

Em D

(just like you wanted to)

end and hold C for last lyrics
