Pieced together what I could find on their social media.
I've seen Gus play this with a capo on the first, second, and third frets.
Play around and put it where you like. I'm not sure where the capo is in the studio
version, if anybody
He also does a lot of hammer-ons on all of the chords so just play around with it. Have
fun!
[Intro]
G Dadd4add9 C Dadd4add9 x2
[Verse 1]
G Dadd4add9
Three weeks from now
C Dadd4add9
These roads will be streets that I used to burn down
G Dadd4add9 C Dadd4add9
And I don't know how to feel about it
G Dadd4add9
Three weeks from now
C
I'll be telling Momma goodbye
Dadd4add9 G
Trying not to break down as she starts to cry
Dadd4add9 C Dadd4add9 G Dadd4add9 C Dadd4add9
And ask why I had to leave early
[Verse 2]
G Dadd4add9
There's something profound
C Dadd4add9
In this insignificant one-horse town
G Dadd4add9 C Dadd4add9
And maybe by leaving I'll realize what that is
G Dadd4add9
So sticking around has little benefit
C Dadd4add9 G
But thinking that sure ain't helping this shred of doubt
Dadd4add9 C Dadd4add9
That's churning deep inside my stomach
[Chorus]
C G
So don't think that I'm runnin' away
Em D
I wanna see all y'all seein' me play
C G D
Don't worry Pop if you don't see me around
C G
I know I'll be back but it's still hard on me
Em D
I don't really want to leave
C Dadd4add9 G Dadd4add9 C Dadd4add9 G X2
I just need to move faster than my hometown
[Verse 3]
G Dadd4add9
These Winesburg stars shine brighter
C Dadd4add9 G Dadd4add9 C Dadd4add9
Than any Cincinnati streetlights ever could
G Dadd4add9
And I'm sure those hipster restaurants
C Dadd4add9 G Dadd4add9 C Dadd4add9
Don't make Crock-Pot meals like Miss Ina would
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Maybe I'll have some fun
Dadd4add9
Livin' the urban way
C
But high school beer tastes better
Dadd4add9
Then any 8 dollar IPA
[Chorus]
C G
So don't think that I'm runnin' away
Em D
I wanna see all y'all seein' me play
C G D
Don't worry Pop if you don't see me around
C G
I know I'll be back but it's still hard on me
Em D
I don't really want to leave
C Dadd4add9 G G
I just need to move faster than my hometown
[Chorus]
C G
So don't think that I'm runnin' away
Em D
I wanna see all y'all seein' me play
C G D
Don't worry Pop if you don't see me around
C G
I know I'll be back but it's still hard on me
Em D
I don't really want to leave
C Dadd4add9 G Dadd4add9 C Dadd4add9 G
I just need to move faster than my hometown
G Dadd4add9 C Dadd4add9 G
My hometown
