Paper Town

[Intro ] C G Am Em [Verso 1] C G I still drive that old county road when the moon is thin and pale Am Em Past a mailbox rusted over where the paint once spilled my name F C Johnson grass has swallowed whole the place the courthouse used to be G C Now the only thing that answers me is the wind through the tree [Refrão] C G Am Oh I'm homesick for a paper town that don't exist no more F C G Full of ghosts and memories down a long forgotten road C G Am Every mile I put behind me just pulls me back a gain F C G To that paper town still living underneath my skin Instrumental C G Am Em [Verso 2] C G Mama's Café's just a slab now screen door lying on the floor Am Em Coca-Cola sign went dark the night the jukebox played no more F C I still taste that burned-up coffee here George Jones sings soft and low G C But the silence took the stage when that little town let go [Refrão] C G Am Oh I'm homesick for a paper town that don't exist no more F C G Full of ghosts and memories down a long forgotten road C G Am Every mile I put behind me just pulls me back a gain F C To that paper town still living underneath my skin [Ponte] Am Em Driving Screen blew down the year the hurricane tore through F C Kids carved their names in the bleachers, mine and hers are still there too Am Em I walked the cracked foundation where we'd dance beneath the stars F C Played that old prom piano in my head from a thousand miles too far Am Em F Time don't knock or ask permission when it levels what you love C G It just leaves a hole the size of childhood that no prayer can fill back up [Refrão] C G Am Yeah I'm homesick for a paper town that don't exist no more F C G Where the streetlights knew my shadow and the river knew my roar C G Am I'd trade every tomorrow for one more yesterday F C In that paper town that only I can see Outro C G So if you pass mile marker 33 'round a quarter after two Am Em Roll your window down and listen might hear a melody break through F C It's just a homesick tramp on some ivory keys G C Playing for a paper town that only lives in me.
