[Start]

[Verse]
                  G                           
Davey died in the summertime in a hotboxed car
D                            G                        Bm 
■ With a seatbelt 'round his neck and a needle in his arm
   D                      G                              Bm   
We would smoke out in the parkin' lot behind convenience shops
  D                                G                              
I bought a couple of grams of weed off him but so did all the cops
D                  Asus4        G                                   
Back then the kids from all the county we would walk out in the heat
                D               G              D                 
'long the train tracks with our paper bags and gravel in our feet
G                                                            
In our heads we picked a husband from the hundred men we knew
               D               G                           D                
But I kissed a poster of a pop star and checked my breasts in case they grew


[Chorus]
G             D                                      G       
There ain't a reason on this earth I'd go back to my hometown
D                                             G        
Somewhere in the clouds Davey's runnin' for a touchdown
D                         G                   D               Bm   
The crowd appears and his mother cheers she's wavin' from the field
         D                                          Bm   
And he's evergreen as seventeen for the last eleven years
D G Bm D

[Verse]
                           D                             
You know I never felt like anyone I was a paradox ol' lie
Bm D                                                          
I  didn't think that I was special but I was too afraid to die
Bm7  D                                                           
Like the others from my high school all those sad suburban ghosts
G          D                                                     
Trapped in a cross next to a highway while the rest of us get old


[Chorus]
                             Gmaj7     G  Gmaj7      G       
There ain't a reason on this earth I'd go back to my hometown

Somewhere in the clouds Davey's runnin' for a touchdown
          D               G                                   D    
The crowd appears and his mother cheers she's wavin' from the field
                      G                             Esus4 D

D        
Oohooh ah
                         D                    
The American dream means stayin' young forever
Bm7      D            G                D               Bm7    
■   In a picture in a pamphlet gettin' yellow from the weather
D                                                                   
And years will pass since science class and I might forget your name
                                  D                                            
But when the crow's feet come the kingdom come well you'll always look the same
                             Gmaj7     G             Asus4   
There ain't a reason on this earth I'd go back to my hometown
D                G                            Esus4    
Somewhere in the clouds Davey's runnin' for a touchdown
Em7       D               G                                   Asus4
The crowd appears and his mother cheers she's wavin' from the field
D                     G                             Esus4
And he's evergreen as seventeen for the last eleven years
