[Verse 1]
        B
I can't go for a ride to clear my head
       G#m
'Cause everything I pass puts you back in it
           E
Yeah we're done, movin' on
        F#
But you can't be too far gone


[Chorus]
            B
'Cause what happens in a small town stays in a small town
G#m
Every back road, we've ever gone down
       E
Friday night bleachers, Sunday pews
        F#
Ain't a county line mile without a memory of you
      B
Every whisper, every room, I walk in
      G#m
Every time the bartender fills it up again
E                                           F#
Everybody knows why I'm here, and you ain't around
            B                                   G#m
'Cause what happens in a small town, stays in a small town


[Verse 2]
   B
Oh we said this goodbye was the last
  G#m
I guess I could leave, I could run from the past
    E
And from us, and from you
            F#
But this is where I belong, this is my home too


[Chorus]
     B
What happens in a small town stays in a small town
G#m
Every back road, we've ever gone down
E
Friday night bleachers, Sunday pews
        F#
Ain't a county line mile without a memory of you
      B
Every whisper, every room, I walk in
      G#m
Every time the bartender fills it up again
     E                                        F#
Everybody knows why I'm here, and you ain't around
            B                                   G#m
'Cause what happens in a small town, stays in a small town
E                   F#
    Yeah, I'm still here, yeah


[Bridge]
          B
Yeah, and every time I see that little white Jeep
           G#m
Yeah, that hand-me-down Ford pullin' down your street
    E
You wonder if somebody's in my seat
     F#
If you're movin' on or you're stuck like me
     B                                   G#m
What happens in a small town, Stays in a small town, Oh yeah


[Chorus]
     B
What happens in a small town stays in a small town
G#m
Every back road, we've ever gone down
E
Friday night bleachers, Sunday pews
        F#
Ain't a county line mile without a memory of you
      B
Every whisper, every room, I walk in
      G#m
Every time the bartender fills it up again
     E                                        F#
Everybody knows why I'm here, and you ain't around, (You ain't around)
            B                                   G#m
'Cause what happens in a small town, stays in a small town


[Outro]
              B
It stays in a small town
              G#m
It stays in a small town
              B
And I'm still here, I'm still here
G#m
    I'm still here
          E
I'm still here, I'm still here
F#
