Ghost Town
By Jake Owen
Capo on 2nd fret
Intro:
Em
verse 1:
C G D
Thought it was safe to go outside
Em
But I guess I was wrong
C G D
Thought I could take a little ride
Just to see what was going on
C G D
Girl I know it's been a while
Em C G D
A while since you've been gone I swear
Em C G D
Aww but baby I still see you everywhere
Chorus:
C G D Em
Around every corner, cafe, backroad, stop sign, stoplight streetlight glowing
C G D Em
Around every highway, driveway, fast song, slow song on my radio
C G
At every party, dive bar, backseat in my car
Em D
Sounds crazy I know
C D
But you just keep hanging around
Em
You got me living in a ghost town
D
Girl I see you every road I go down
C D
Your memory of me about to throw down, showdown, oh now
Em
Why'd you leave me living in a ghost town?
(Why'd you leave me living in a ghost town?)
verse 2:
C G D
Across the room I see your face
Em
Then it disappears
C G D
I hear your voice call out my name
Whispering in my ear
C G D
I reach for you but you're not here
You're still here
Chorus:
C G D Em
Around every corner, cafe, backroad, stop sign, stoplight streetlight glowing
C G D Em
Around every highway, driveway, fast song, slow song on my radio
C G
At every party, dive bar, backseat in my car
Em D
Sounds crazy I know
C D
But you just keep hanging around
Em
You got me living in a ghost town

Girl I see you every road I go down

Your memory of me about to throw down, showdown, oh now

Why'd you leave me living in a ghost town?
