Intro
E C#m A x2
[Verse 1]
E C#m F*
You went through five schools, before you were 17
E C#m F*
I can only guess what those brown eyes have seen
E C#m F*
If we're just a blank slate mixed with a little bit of DNA
E C#m F*
And those weekend visits when he'd show up late
[Pre-chorus]
A B
When I feel helpless, I see you smiling back at me
A B
Like every little thing is gonna be okay
A B
Ya you're a tough kid, way tougher than me
A B
I'll put a bet on you any day
[Chorus]
E C#m A
Oooh, when your head gets dizzy and you can't get right
E C#m A
Oooh, but ya push on through, don't be denied
G#m A
Shake off those ghosts in every corner of this town
G*
From the clothes on your back, to the colour of your eyes
A
Ain't no shame in some hand me downs
E C#m A E C#m A
Ooh, ain't no shame in some hand me downs

[Verse 2]
E C#m A
No, it never made sense, but it's the only thing that you know
E C#m A
That resentment; well it comes and goes
E C#m A
In your daddy's defence, he never really stood a change
E
You should see where he came from
And how his brothers ended up
C#m A
We get all stuck, but babe
[Pre-chorus]
A B
You've been acting reckless, to deal with the pain
A B
I just hope you don't get carried away
A B
You wear this necklace, from graduation day
A
You said "I'll wear this chain, cause I'm breaking it
B N.C.
Yeah, I'll wear this chain, cause I'm breaking it"
[Chorus]
E C#m A
Oooh, when your head gets dizzy and you can't get right
E C#m A
Oooh, but ya push on through, don't be denied

Shake off those ghosts in every corner of this town

First of the month, gets you stressed out
F#m G#m
And moving trucks, bring you right back
F#m E C#m7 E A
Deep in the cut, there's a voice that's calling out, saying:
B
"It's out of reach but I gotta keep chasing
B
It's out of reach but I gotta keep chasing
B
It's out of reach but I gotta keep chasing
B
It's out of reach but I gotta keep chasing"
