And I sing songs about the past
How I was raised and I was thrown out on my ass
Cause I [F] didn't care about going [C] to school
And I saw the look in her eyes
My mother nearly cried when I told her that I wanted [F]
to go
Just to [C] prove them wrong
[Am] I've been smoking cigarettes since I [F] was only 14
Just [G] to find an escape from [C] this town that was so mean to me
And I sing songs about my friends
The way we grew up
And all the loose [G] ends we [F] used to laugh
We didn't give [C] a damn
And I saw the look in my brother's eyes
When I told him I was leaving
He couldn't help but [F]
despise me
He's wanted out his [C] whole life
I've [Am] been smoking the green since [F] I was merely 16
Just [G] to find an escape from [C] this town that was so mean to me
And I sing songs about the past
