[Em] [D] [G] [C]
[G]
[D] [G]
[C] [G]
There's an old train [D] track goes back by the old [G] mill
With [Em] the more slip [D] away every day to the [G] whiskey still
They still shine by the [D] bottom for five every [Em] Saturday
Behind old reds [D] tavern, but you didn't hear that [G] from me
Cuz we [C] all
[G] We don't know what [D] daddy got his money for fishing boat
[G]
Zipco don't come cheap in this day and [D] time
and we [C] all
[G] Cuz [D] we got bills that we can't [G] pay small town and we know how it [D] goes
[G]
another secret
[D] That everybody
[Em] knows
[D] [G] [Em]
Whole [D] memory he spends his days [G] at the local store
He
[Em] pays for [D] a little [G] sometimes leaves with more
But he's always got a story about his [D] boyship [C] overseas
[G] He hasn't been the same since so we
We
[C] [G] don't know [D] that he ain't got nowhere to go
[C] He's too [G] proud to pay for him [D] now
[G] We all turn the other way
[D] There ain't that much left to say
[C] Small town [G] and we know how [D] it goes
Nothing [G] [D] that everybody [C] [G] knows
Simple our pain is easy as it sounds
[C] [Em]
We've all got things that [G] we don't talk
Daddy had [D] a baby last spring
[G] So many [D] boys he ain't coming [G] home
Now [Em] she drink from [D] a bottle.
She got behind
[G]
Can't get the side of and leaving out of her head
[C] [G] Like we don't know [D] she comes in the Sunday school [C] with a smile
[G]
[D]
[C] [G] Say [D] bless their [Em] hearts.
We just pretty small [G] town and we know how [D] it goes
[G] That everybody [Em] knows
[D] [C]
She's [G] another secret [D]
that everybody [Em] knows
[D] [G] [C]
