[Verse 1]

D G

A struck match faded like a nervous laugh

D G

Beyond the halo of a naked bulb

D G

And your low voice mingles with your other half's

D G

School friends in second-hand clothes

D G

Eventually your world will shrink within four walls

D G

Of neglected debts and stolen stereos

[Chorus]

A G

So move away Jimmy Blue

A G

Before your small, small town turns around and swallows you

[Interlude]

D G D G

[Verse 2]

D G

A drunk mother was the cue

D G

For the legendary things that you do

D G

Behind the carnival tent with mud on your face

D G

Behind the old glue factory too

[Chorus]

A G

So move away Jimmy Blue

A G D G

Before your small, small town turns around and swallows you

D G

And swallows you

A G

[Bridge]

D G

Wet feet visit the same old places

D G

You're finding nothing new

D G

It's a bin full of tissues from made-up faces

D G

In a town full of nothing to do

A G

A love match with the moon

A G

In a layby, while insects hum and

A G A

You got put in the darkness of a woman's womb

Jimmy Blue, Jimmy Blue

[Break]

D G D G

[Chorus]

A G

So move away

A G

Turn around and move away

A G

Yeah, move away Jimmy Blue

A G D

Before your small, small town turns around and swallows you
